- Using the Network
-
- You can now use the network exactly as if you were in your office.
-
- Important: You can access data files across the telephone connection,

- Unloading Remote Access Drivers
-
- If you are running DOS and LAN Manager Enhanced on a dual-role computer,
- you should unload the Remote Access drivers prior to switching from your
- modem to your network adapter card, or vice versa. If you are running
- any other DOS configuration, unloading the Remote Access drivers will free
- up memory that may be needed to run other applications. To unload the
- Remote Access drivers:
-
- Type rasload /u.

- Troubleshooting
-
- Network Access Problems
-
- If you are denied access to your network, contact your system administrator.
- You may not have a valid user account on your LAN Manager network, or you
- may not have permission to dial in.
-
- Connection and Response Problems
-
- If the Remote Access server is not responding, one or more of the following
- may be true:
-
- - The Remote Access server is not running. Contact your system administrator.
- - You are using an incompatible version of the Remote Access software.
- Contact your system administrator.
- - The modem on the Remote Access server has been turned off. Contact your
- system administrator.
- - Your modem and/or modem configurations are incompatible with the modem on
- the Remote Access server. Contact your system administrator.
- - Your hotel room telephone line cannot accommodate your current modem speed.
- Use a lower baud rate or contact the hotel manager to request a direct
- line.
- - You specified the wrong telephone number. Update your Phone Book entry and
- redial.
- - You did not specify a special number that gives you an outside line. For
- example, some businesses and hotels require you to dial 9 before dialing
- your number.
- - There is static on the telephone line. Contact your phone service provider.
-
- Modem Problems
-
- If your modem is not responding properly, one of the following may be true:
-
- - Your modem has been turned off or unplugged.
- - Your modem is not properly connected to your computer.
- - Your modem is in an inconsistent state. Restart or reset your modem and
- redial.
- - Your modem and/or modem cables are defective or not compatible for use with
- Remote Access. Contact your system administrator.
- - Your modem is not configured correctly. See your modem user guide or
- contact your system administrator.
-
- If your modem connects at a lower baud rate than you specified, the Remote
- Access server may have a modem type different from what you are using.
- Contact your system administrator.
-
- Unloading Problems (DOS Remote Access Drivers Only)
-
- If you encounter problems when unloading the Remote Access drivers, one of
- the following may be true:
-
- - A telephone connection still exists. The Remote Access drivers will not
- unload if a telephone connection exists. This protects you from accidently
- hanging up a connection and losing data. Save your data files, disconnect
- the phone line, and then try the rasload /u command again.
- - You have an incorrect TSR unloading order. The Remote Access drivers will
- not unload if you load a terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) program or
- start the Workstation service after typing rasload. Ensure that your
- loading order is correct.
-
- Net805 Error
-
- One likely cause of this error is the following incorrect settings in MODEMS.INF:
-
- - Port-to-modem speed (DTE speed) is higher than modem-to-modem speed (DCE
- speed), and
- - Flow control is OFF.
-
- To correct the configuration, make one of the following adjustments:
-
- - If you want flow control to be OFF, set the DTE speed and the DCE speed
- to the same value, or
- - If you want to enable compression, set the flow control value to ON.
