6057.0. "Configuring RAS connecting to Cisco Router" by NNTPD::"huey-jiun chow@msavc" (msavc) Thu May 29 1997 08:52

Hi,
     My customer have 2 server each configure with NT 4.0 /w SP2.
     Server A as PDC and server B as BDC with RAS installed.

     The configuration is as below,
                          (dial up)
               ---------------------------------------                        

               |                                     |     
               |                                     |  
               |                                     M (172.16.16.1)
               |                                     |
               M (172.16.16.2)               Cisco Router 2511 (172.16.1.253)
               |                                     |
            Server B                             Server A
         (172.16.9.250)                         (172.16.1.250)
           Remote site                               HQ

Subnet is 255.255.255.0 

    Server B able to ping server A but not vice-versa. Server A could only
ping
    to the point of 172.16.16.2 ( modem for server B).

    Any input on how to rectify this problems are appreciated.
    Thank you .

6057.1modem gets ip addressLIOVAX::POELKERSat May 31 1997 18:566
    when you dial in to an NT network using RAS, your modem acts like a 
    NIC card. The ip address of the server on the remote lan is irrelevant.
    do you have the ras server hand out ip address's for the remote nodes,
    or do you use a DHCP scope?.

6057.2ThanksNNTPD::"huey-jiun chow@msavc"msavcMon Jun 02 1997 19:0817
Hi,
    Thank you for your suggestion, actually I have set the ip address static, 
    instead of using DHCP. 
    After going thru some testing, I have found out that a parameter in Winnt
    registry has to be modify. 
        The parameter is located in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree under the 
    following subkey:
          \system\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasArp\Parameters

        Change the default setting from 1 to 0.

        Then the system will be able to route the packet from the com port to 
    the ethernet port.
