On the host right click on the incoming connection
icon and select Properties. Click the Networking tab and highlight
TCP/IP. Click the Properties button. Check 'Specify TCP/IP
addresses' and enter an appropriate address.

Hi everybody!
These messages have been found in the System log of the
Event Viewer application.
These error messages have been generated after
each logon attempt.
Although dial-in client have been connected to the host
pc,
But client was unable to open the target host,
and its failure
attempts have been recorded in the System log.
It seems that something must
be configured on host,
which gives client more to provide in the
authentication process.
Error1:
"Unable to contact a DHCP server.
The Automatic Private IP
Address --- will be assigned to dial-in clients.
Clients may be unable to
access resources on the network."
Error2:
"The user --- failed an
authentication attempt due to the following reason:
The current
configuration of the Internet Authentication Service (IAS) server only
supports local user accounts."
Unfortunately
I omitted IP address and username while copying them from Event Log,
and
now those messages are deleted automatically due to Event Log size
limit!
Facts:
Both host and client use Windows XP
Pro SP1,
Host is a stand-alone which is set up to accept incoming
connections (no further configuration),
Client is dialing to host using the
username & password created/provided while setting up incoming connections
on host.
Please help! I'm trying to access my office and copy data to it
from my home,
via XP's simple Incoming Connections & Shared
Folders.
Otherwise I've got to use removable storage devices, exchanging
data and project files.
Any help
as any kind is greatly appreciated!
Time is gold,
specially yours!
You may accept my
gratitude!
