To configure a RAS server to use TCP/IP for network connections, follow these steps:
1. In Control Panel, choose the Network option.
2. In the Installed Network Software box, select Remote Access Service and choose the Configure button.
3. In the Remote Access Setup dialog box, choose the Network button.
4. In the Network Configuration dialog box, make sure the TCP/IP check box is selected in both the upper and lower sections.
5. Choose the Configure button to the right of the TCP/IP check box.
6. In the RAS Server TCP/IP Configuration dialog box, activate the following settings:
Allow any authentication in the Encryption setting.
If this workstation is a closed network (point-to-point), make sure this computer only is selected.
If this workstation is on an open network or a closed, multi-workstation network, make sure the entire network box is checked.
7. In the Remote TCP/IP Client Address Pool box, type the Begin and End IP addresses from the range allocated for
RAS clients.
These values should be entered in dotted decimal notation (for example, 110.11.0.0). On open networks, these numbers must be
assigned by the network administrator. On closed networks, you can make up an address value that adheres to TCP/IP addressing
conventions.
To define excluded addresses within the IP address pool range, use the Excluded Range controls, as follows:
Type the first IP address that is part of the excluded range in the From box, and type the last number in the To box. Then choose
the Add button. Continue to define any other excluded ranges in the same way.
To exclude a single IP address, type the number in the From and To box and then choose the Add button.
To remove an IP address range from the excluded range, select the range in the Excluded Ranges box, and then choose the
Remove button.
8. To allow remote workstations to request a predetermined IP address, select that option’s check box.
9. Choose the OK button.
This returns you to the Network Configurations dialog box.
10. In the Network Configuration dialog box, choose the OK button.
This returns you to the Remote Access Setup dialog box.
11. In the Remote Access Setup dialog box, choose the Continue button.
12. You must restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
