- 3. KNOWN ISSUES WITH MICROSOFT CONNECTION MANAGER 1.2
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- * If you are running Windows NT 4.0, you must manually configure
- Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) for your virtual private
- network (VPN). To configure PPTP for VPN on Windows NT 4.0:
-
- 1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then
- double-click Network.
- 2. On the Protocols tab, click Add, and then click Point To Point
- Tunneling Protocol.
- 3. Click OK.
- 4. In Number of Virtual Private Networks, enter 1.
- 5. In the Remote Access Setup window, click Add.
- 6. In the Add RAS Device dialog box, select VPN1 - RASPPTPM, and
- then click OK.
- 7. Select VPN1, and then click Configure.
- 8. In the Configure Port Usage dialog box, select Dial-Out Only, if
- it is not already selected, and then click OK.
- 9. Click Network and make sure that TCP/IP is selected and then
- complete the installation.
-
- * If you are running Windows NT 4.0 and are using a Connection Manager
- service profile that requires Dial-Up Scripting, you must install
- Windows NT Service Pack 3 or later. It is recommended that you install
- the latest upgrade (currently Window NT Service Pack 5). If you have
- problems with Connection Manager that you cannot resolve using the
- Connection Manager troubleshooting Help, uninstall RAS, re-install it,
- and then re-install the Windows NT service pack. Verify in RAS that
- VPN1 is configured for "Dial-Out Only." (See the above procedure for
- the method for configuring VPN1.)
-
- * On Windows NT 4.0, if you try to establish more than one connection,
- you might see the message, "The modem (or other connecting device) is
- already in use or is not configured properly." This sometimes happens
- if you try to dial too quickly, or if you start Connection Manager
- when a connection has already been established using Dial-Up Networking.
- Use one connection at a time.
-
- * If you are running Windows NT 4.0 and you change the Disconnect
- If Idle setting, the change will not take effect until you quit
- Connection Manager and restart it.
-
- * If you want to install a Connection Manager service profile on a
- computer running Windows 98, you should uninstall the VPN1 adapter
- before installing Connection Manager 1.2. Connection Manager installs
- it but may not be able to reinstall over an existing VPN adapter.
-
- * Connection Manager does not support displaying a terminal window.
-
- * If you are using Windows CE Services, you must use version 3.0
- (ActiveSync 3.0) or greater.
-
- * When you install a version 1.0 Connection Manager on a Windows 2000
- computer, you will receive an error which states ?The dynamic link
- library MSVCRT20.dll could not be found in the specified path ??.
- Installation of the profile will succeed, but you will have to depress
- F5 (function key 5) or restart your computer for the desktop icon to
- display.
-
- * Connection Manager only supports single channel ISDN, except on
- Windows 2000 where the Administrator has specifically configured
- the service profile for dual channel ISDN. The Bandwidth Allocation
- Protocol (BAP) is not supported.
