RAS Clients Using TCP/IP Can Access All Subnets but Their OwnLast reviewed: March 20, 1997Article ID: Q142052 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSYour Windows NT or Windows 95 Remote Access (RAS) client whose network interface card (NIC) is disconnected from the local area network (LAN), cannot access its subnet after dialing the RAS server that is on the same subnet as the RAS client IP address even though the RAS client is also using the TCP/IP protocol. This problem does not occur on non-subneted networks.
CAUSEDestination IP addresses that are on the same subnet as the client network card are always sent out over the NIC, even if the NIC is no longer connected to the LAN. Windows NT and Windows 95 will automatically build a route table for the use of the workstation. This route table will control the sending of TCP/IP packets over the network card on the LAN or RAS interface.

This route will automatically be re-added at reboot. Now all packets will be sent over the RAS interface.
Windows 95Windows 95 allows you to create multiple Hardware profiles. A hardware profile without a NIC should be used when the NIC is not connected to the LAN and you are using RAS. This method also removes a route, as in the example above, but is more convenient.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5x and Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
