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) |
