Hi For a temporary solution to a similar problem, I used Win2k Pro (server should be the same)
All machines sat on a private network range, the server was on 192.168.0.1 On the server, setup the connection to the RAS server, and configure internet connection sharing on that for that connection Configure all clients for DHCP addressing, or manually configure them with the gateway as 192.168.0.1 When they try to access any other subnets the line is brought up, and once connected, the workstations should have access -----Original Message----- From: King, John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 29 March 2002 14:31 To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: Network Modem sharing Hello all, This is kind of an odd question. I have to provide a remote facility with the ability to check their email. Now this sounds easy enough. This is only a temporary fix for a couple of weeks, till Verizon can turn on the T1. Until then this facility will needs to dial into our RAS server to get network access and thus check their email queued on our PostFix mail gateway.. I will be setting up a temp Win2k server at their facility with 2 modems in it. Our RAS server only supports 2 incoming calls at the same time. The obvious solution is to setup multiple email profiles and have Outlook dial on demand when invoked. This is a usable solution, but it requires each of the 20 employees to walk away from their workstations and over to a shared server just to check email.. Now I have heard of programs based on a client/server model that bind a client PC's com port to a com port physically on the server. Thus allowing on demand modem sharing over a TCP/IP network.. I have not had much luck finding this type of program.. Do any exist..? What is the price, I would prefer something free/share ware as this is just for a couple of weeks... Does anyone know of any software that does this..? Any help/advice will be much appreciated..
