The whole problem is described here:

I wont repost it, because it fills 6 posts.

Please read it...

Any idea how to solve my problem? And what is causes?

Intialize RASENTRY structure with zero values and modify fields that you
required to change, before calling to RasSetEntryProperties().

As RASENTRY structure is not intialized and calling RasSetEntryProperties()
might corrupt the phonebook (relate to that entry).

While trying to get properties of the connectiod, RAS component returns
error, but explorer (network connection folder) is not throwing any error.
So, it does not show anything.

The strange thing is, the program works fine under a win98 machine, but not under win2000.

What do you mean, with "initialize RASENTRY structure with zero values and modify fields that you
required to change" ? I already did it:

RASENTRY ras;
ras.dwSize = sizeof(RASENTRY);

RasGetEntryProperties(NULL, "myprovider", &ras, &ras.dwSize, NULL, NULL); //change myprovider to your provider
RasSetEntryProperties(NULL, "newprovider", &ras, ras.dwSize, NULL, NULL);

I fixed the problem. It can be a genereal failure in the ras.h. You ms guys should look at it

It worked only, after i inserted #define WINVER 0x500 above the #include declarations

I just found a that posting, after i searched the usenet about WINVER 0x500 and ras..

Is it a general failure in the ras.h file? should't it be generic?
