Simple RAS Setup

[Novice Techie]

I am trying to set up a RAS Dial-Up access for a single remote XP user on a
W2K Domain controller. I have one modem and one NIC in the DC. I use a
Linksys router as my DHCP server. Is there a simple way to do this and
allow the remote user access to the domain? I have gone through the wizard
on the Remote Access and Routing panel, and I am able to connect, but not
access any domain resources.

Thanks!

Does the remote access user have permissions for the domain resources?

Yes.

However, I have noticed that the subnet being applied to the remote user is
different than the subnet set by the Linksys DHCP server. Could that be the
issue? How can I change that?

Thanks!

The remote user always get subnet of 255.255.255.255. It's how PPP protocol
works. However that is not the issue.
Can you do net use * \\<ipaddress>\C$ to any machine behind the vpn server
using domain credentials and see if it's succeeding or failing. If it's
failing what is the error.

I'm a little rusty at this, but see if this helps.

Right click the server in the RRAS snap-in, and under one
of the tabs there will be a check box for "IP routing
enabled". Make sure this is ticked. If the box is not
ticked the remote user will only be allowed to access the
RRAS server, and not beyond.

You may have to search for this, as I say, I'm a little
rusty and have no RRAS installed on my system to check.

Thanks for the tip.

I checked, and yes IP routing is enabled.

Okay, now this is weird. All of a sudden, the IP address I am receiving on
the remote PC is 192.168.1.151 which is strange only because I only have 12
clients on the network. It is recognizing the correct DNS and WINS IPs.

However, I am able to use \\<ipaddress>\C$ as well as \\<computername>\C$ to
browse clients beyond the RAS Server. I don't however get internet
connectivity.

I am confused though now on the basic access, because I didn't change
anything, and know it is working!! Any hints on what happened?

Thanks!!
