Ras server help

[Guest_imported]

I install Ras server with tcp/ip and netbeui on NT 4, with the the remote workstations running win95 & win98.<br>
<br>
Is there a way to map the server drives through the RAS access?<br>
<br>
Thanks

I know this is of no help whatsoever but if you get an awnser to this I'll eat my hat.<br>
I heard that this was possible and I desperately need it up and running but have had no luck getting it sorted<br>
I'll keep you briefed on what I find out <p>Paul O'Connor<br><a href=mailto:damhna@hotmail.com>damhna@hotmail.com</a><br><a href=

Do you mean that simply trying to map a drive through Explorer while connected doesn't work?<br>
<br>
Make sure that the clients are granted access to the entire network, not just the RAS server. Also, for that to work you have to have IP Forwarding enabled on the RAS server.<br>
<br>
If you're trying to have different drives mapped depending on local or RAS connection, there is no good way to check for log on via RAS but here is a tip from jsiinc.com:<br>
<br>
==============================<br>
0380 » How do I determine if a user logged on via RAS in a login script?.<br>
Unfortuneatley, there is no universal method of checking wether a user logged on via RAS or via their LAN connection. Some of the examples in this tip use Kixtart ( see tip 120 ) as the logon script processor.<br>
For a home user, who always logs on via RAS, you can have them place a RASLOG.TXT file in their %Windir% and test for its presence:<br>
<br>
if exist %Windir%\raslog.txt goto RAS endif<br>
....<br>
<br>
For Windows NT users, you can use the CHECKRAS.EXE utility from the BackOffice Resource kit:<br>
<br>
if exist %windir%\checkras.exe goto CRNC endif<br>
copy %logonserver%\netlogon\checkras.exe %windir%<br>
:CRNC<br>
shell &quot;%windir%\checkras&quot;<br>
if @error 1 goto RAS endif<br>
....<br>
<br>
For Windows 95 users, check the registry:<br>
<br>
$is_ras=readvalue(&quot;hkey_local_machine\system\currentcontrolset\services\remoteaccess&quot;,&quot;remote connection&quot<br>
if @error=0 goto RAS endif<br>
....<br>
<br>
For DOS/WFW/WIN users, use the NETSPEED.COM utility from SMS. <br>
