Windows 2000 Getting an Incoming Call


After we defined and configured the “Incoming Connection“, the system
accepts Incoming calls :

Reminder:
Verify that the checkmark is defined
for the device to allow an incoming
connection.


Once the system has accepted an Incoming connection, the icon become
more colorful and it shows the name of the User:

The taskbar will show the Connection icon, and if you place your mouse
cursor for a while on it, it shows the connection Statistics:

If you have your windows for
“Network and Dial-up Connections”
open, it will also show the
information for the incoming
connection.
Running the “icon” shows
the connection information:
tab: General
statistics and the possibility to
disconnect
tab: Details
The network information,
showing the protocol and
the IP-addresses assigned
to both modems.


Connecting from Windows95/98 to Windows2000


After Rebooting the Windows 2000 system:

On Windows NT4, you can define for the
Remote Access Services” in “Services
of the Control-Panel to start AUTOMATIC
:
after a reboot, the system accepts incoming
calls without the need for a user login and
any manual operation.
I did not yet locate the equivalent for
Windows 2000:
After a reboot, the Check-mark on the
device for the Incoming Connection has
disappeared and the modem does NOT
pick-up an incoming call.
You need to place the Check-mark, then OK
to activate for Incoming calls.
Anybody a solution ? Please tell me
using the contact address..

I checked in “Services“: “Routing and Remote Access” is running:

When using RRAS on Windows 2000 Server, the modem is activated for incoming calls
after a reboot WITHOUT having to login.


A Frequently Asked Question:
Can I access from the Server the disk of the Calling System ?
First condition: the calling system must have “File-and-Printer Sharing”
installed.

When checking on the
Windows2000 system in
My Network Places” for
Computers Near Me“,
it will only list the
systems on the network,
but NOT the System
connected via Modem.
Checking in the
Entire Network
also does not list
the calling system,
so it is time to
Search for Computers
You need to know the
Name of the computer
calling it (not the User
name)
