Re: win2000as routing

For a full implementation of MSFT LAN to LAN routing you need a RRAS
server at both ends. This is what the documentation talks about. But if you
have a small site with no router or server you can use a workstation to set
up the connection.

You must have RRAS at the "answering" end so that you can use a
demand-dial interface to link the static route to. When you make the
connection you must use the name of the demand-dial interface as the
username, so that the connection uses the correct interface and sets up the
return route. Otherwise you still have the same problem as before (because
it connects to the default interface).

If you are trying to use this method to route between the two
sites, you are using the wrong approach. You do not need to
configure routing manually. Manual config fails because the
interface does not exist until you make the connection.

The correct procedure is to use RRAS and set up a demand-dial
interface to act as the connection point, not the default dialup
interface. You link the subnet route to this interface (using the
new static route wizard). When the remote site dials in, it connects
to the demand-dial interface and the subnet route becomes active.
(It is stored in the registry). When the connection is broken, the
extra route is removed from the routing table.

Check the entries in help on lan to lan or router to router
connections.


Thank you Bill for your response, I will look at RRAS. I didn't want
to complicate with RRAS, since it was working OK (until this).
