I have a question about Use Dial-Up Networking over a LAN:

Hi all, I have a Windows 2000 Server Family network and want to share my Dial-Up Internection connection for all users on my LAN. The dial-up connection has been set-up on the Server. Even though I am able to browse on the host PC (i.e. the server), my client PCs are unable to browse. I need assistance. Thanks

What I did this time around with dialup is just to enable ICS on the dialup connection on my 2000 Advanced Server and then I installed Terminal Services on the server and installed the client on the 9x/2000 PC's here at home so they can initiate the dialup remotely.

The clients don't need to necessarily browse the server unless you have shared resources they need access to. They just have to be able to remotely start the dialup connection. I tried setting it up so the dialup would initiate from clients opening web browsers or email but wasn't happy with the performance so I opted for this other setup which has been working well.

Tjis is how I use dial up internet service over my Netgear wired and wireless lan. I have netzero installed on my XP Pro machine that I use as a file server. I use dhcp and I change the router ti begin with a different IP other than the Internet IP address


On the router: Sample information only, Router ip: 192.168.1.5 Server ip: 192.168.1.6 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 I have each one to reconize the mac address and then assign the IP to the PC with the Mac address when connected. I then set the router to be the DHCP server and set the IP for only 5 Machines to assign IP addresses to. 192.168.1.6 through 192.196.1.11 all with the same subnet mask. Since the router is set to assign the IP address to only 5 machines, only five the 5 PC with thoe MACs will connect with the server and get the IP's. I then Set up ICS to use the server as the host machine and each one PC as the client and use the host as having the internet and the client as using the internet from the host. and then the ICS wizard does the rest. I save the configuration on a disk from the setup wizard and run the disk on each client machine on the network. Now I can share the internet on each machine as long as the internet is on from the host machine, which is my XP file server as well. Nice set up huh? I also get to use My Pocket PC 2002 iPAQ and see all the PC's as well as the server wirelessly and share files between them too. Home Network consist of: Netgear MR814 802.11b Router 11Mbps with Wifi and 4 ethernet ports Netgear USB 802.11b 11Mbps Wif adapter (2) Netgear MA 701 CF 802.11b 11Mbps Wifi card (Pocket PC use) Netgear WG511 PCMCIA 802.11b 54Mbps Wifi card for laptop use.

To install TS on 2000 server, you'll need to go to "Start >> Settings >> Control Panel >> Add/Remove Software" In there click on the "Add/Remove Windows Components button". In there, select Terminal Serivces and let it install. Once it's done, you can find the client end in the following location on the server: "C:\WINNT\system32\clients\tsclient\win32" (this is for 32 bit OS's). You'll need to install the client end on any 2000/9x clients and XP has it's own Remote Desktop Connection available.
