Access Violation on RAS Client Dialing Into Windows 95

• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.51
• Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.51
• Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When dialing into a Windows 95 Dial-up Network server from a Windows NT Remote Access Service (RAS) client, the Windows NT client will hang when the prompt "Registering your computer on the remote network" appears, and a Dr. Watson popup appears, claiming an access violation occurred 0xc0000005 in RASMAN.EXE.

CAUSE

The error occurs when the Windows 95 Dial-up network server does NOT have a network card installed, and NetBEUI is the only protocol that is installed for the Dial-up network adapter.

WORKAROUND

On the Windows 95 machine, install another protocol, like IPX/SPX Compatible transport or TCPIP. Note that if using IPX/SPX, you must enable NetBios for that protocol by going into IPX/SPX Protocol Properties/NetBIOS/enable. If using TCPIP, you must assign it an IP address by going into TCPIP Protocol Properties/IP address
