Unable to Access Machines Other Than the RAS Server (111930)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q111930 SUMMARY
After you connect to a Remote Access Services (RAS) server under Windows
for Workgroups 3.11, connections to other machines on the remote network
are not possible.
MORE INFORMATIONWindows 3.11 RAS Server
The Windows for Workgroups 3.11 RAS server allows a point-to-point
connection only. Therefore, the RAS client can use only resources local to
the RAS server--no other network access is provided. This is a product
security feature implemented because Windows for Workgroups 3.11 provides
share-level, not user-level, security.
Windows NT, Windows NT Advanced Server, or LAN Manager RAS Server
Connecting to a Windows NT, Windows NT Advanced Server, or LAN Manager RAS
server allows access to the entire network provided that user rights have
been granted to those network resources and that the RAS Gateway has been
configured correctly.
Windows NT, Windows NT Advanced Server, and LAN Manager, unlike Windows for
Workgroups 3.11, provide user-level security; therefore, the user must be
granted specific rights to network resources before the user can use or
view them. For information on configuring user rights, consult your Windows
NT, Windows NT Advanced Server, or LAN Manager documentation; your system
administrator; or Microsoft Product Support for Windows NT, Windows NT
Advanced Server, or LAN Manager.
