How can I limit RAS callers
to see only the machine they connect to rather
than the whole network
|
When you configure the RAS server, you set for each
protocol the scope of the connection, the server or
the whole network. To change this perform the following:
- Start the Network Control Panel Applet (Right click
on Network and select properties)
- Select the Service tab and select the Remote Access
Service and click Properties
- Select the COM port and click the Network button
- Click the Configure button next to the protocol
you wish to change access (e.g. TCP/IP)
- At the top check the "This computer only" option
- Click OK
Clients should now be able to only view local RAS server
connections.
How can I obtain a list
of all user accounts that have permission to
dial in to the network?
|
The Windows NT Server Resource Kit includes the Rasusers
command. To get a list of user accounts that have
dial-in permission to a domain or server, type one
of the following commands:
rasusers MYDOMAIN
or
rasusers MYSERVER
How can I remove the
dial-up networking icon from My Computer?
|
The dial-up networking icon can be removed by editing
the registry as follows:
- Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
- Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace
- Select {a4d92740-67cd-11cf-96f2-00aa00a11dd9}
- This step is optional but from the Registry menu
select "Export Registry File". Enter a name for
the reg file which will be created. This file will
allow you to automatically undo this if you wish.
- Press the Del key to delete the key.
- Click Yes to the deletion confirmation dialog
- Dial-up networking will no longer be visible from
My Computer
To restore it using your reg file just double click
on the reg file from Explorer and dial-up networking
will be restored.
