Article ID: Q142647
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.51
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you view a Windows NT 4.0 Remote Access Service (RAS) server from a Windows NT 3.51 server, the callback field may not show the phone number correctly, or you may not see a phone number at all.

CAUSE

The Windows NT 4.0 RAS server has the capability to accept or call IP numbers, NetBIOS names, and Domain Name Service (DNS) host names as well as phone numbers. The Windows NT 3.51 Rasadmin executable file does not have this capability.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51. This problem was corrected in the latest Windows NT 3.51 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
