SYMPTOMS

When you have a Remote Access Service (RAS) client connected to your RAS server, your Local Area Network (LAN) clients may not be able to access the resources on the RAS client.

CAUSE

The cause for the above issue may vary depending on your type of RAS client.

Windows 95 Dial-Up Networking (DUN) Client

The network protocol bound to the Dial-Up Adapter is not bound to the file and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks service.

Windows NT RAS Client

The network protocol bound to the Server service has the Remote Access WAN Wrapper disabled.

RESOLUTION
