Very Computer

Alles,

I have a client running Windows NT Server 4.0 and SqlServer 6.5.  With
Windows 95, I set up my ODBC to the SqlServer and configured RAS to
dial-in to the office connecting as Drive (f).  I'm brand new to
running Windows NT and even newer at administering/configuring under
it.

I upgraded to Windows NT Server 4.0 myself and now I can't get a drive
connected through RAS.  I can connect to the Server okay and I get the
connection message I'm being registered on their system.  However,
I can't ping them and I can get a drive configured?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Do you see the remote computer in the Network neighborhood? If you don't
you probably don't have Netbeui enabled (either on the server or the
client.)

I had other problems connecting up to a NT 4.0 server from a win95 client
that got resolved by setting the default user name on my win95 machine
at home to a valid user on the
NT 4.0 server. I somehow had a user name for my ISP in the registry which
needed to change. I changed the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/CurrentUser value to my
network username at work and things started working.

Hope this helps,
        Rollan

hosts and lmhosts files works miracles!!

put the names and ip-addr of servers in the lmhosts file (in
<winroot>\system32\drivers\etc).

do you use a WINS server? that would help a lot too.

If you are this inexperienced, install NetBEUI as
a second protocol on the server and on the client.  
It is a configuration-less protocol that works
wonders on RAS and on the network.  TCP/IP is a
difficult protocol if you do not have it set up
correctly, and especially if you are not using
WINS and DHCP.
