Lotus 0 Posted April 8, 2002 I need to have a computer in one location dialup using a modem and connect to a network server in another location. I setup Win2k to allow incoming connections, and made an account for the incoming connection. For some strange reason I can't connect. The modem is a 56k USR v.90 external and is connecting to another v.90 modem. It's not even showing in incoming connection when we try to connect to the server. We have PcAnywhere installed for the same 2 computers, and had the host waiting for incoming calls as a service. I stopped the service for PcAnywhere, but still I am having no luck. Why in the heck is this not working? I was told it was pretty straight forward. I am kind of writing this in a hurry, so if further info is needed, please let me know. Any place where I can read about setting this up? Share this post Link to post
DosFreak 2 Posted April 8, 2002 Have you tested that the modem on the server actually works? Tried dialing an ISP or somesuch? Is the server modem refusing incoming calls or waiting for a certain number of calls before answering? What are you going to use the dialup on the server for? Internet connectivity or somesuch from a remote locations? If so I recommend using the more advanced Remote Access in Windows 2000 than just going to My Network Places properties. The Remote Access is ALOT more advanced and although it may SEEM more complicated it really isn't. Also MAKE SURE YOU GO THROUGH EACH AND EVERY SINGLE OPTION. SIT DOWN AND DO IT. Don't try to blaze through it in a microsecond. Although it may seem like a simple task there are options that should/should not be checked and security concerns to be taken into consideration. (call-back for instance). Share this post Link to post
