I-406 If you share phone lines with voice or fax and need to change the number of rings RAS waits before it answers the phone, change this registry parameter.
Hive: | HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE |
Key: | System\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan\Parameters |
Value Name: | NumberOfRings |
Data Type: | REG_DWORD |
Value: | 1 - 20; default is 1 |
If you try to set the value to a number greater than 20, the default value (1) is used. Restart RAS for this value to take effect. This registry entry only affects UNIMODEM devices.
I-407 From time to time it is necessary to exclude certain dial addresses from the service. Basically, changing this value lets you hide certain RAS addresses without deleting them. If your RAS dialer is set up to choose alternates when it encounters a busy signal, you can appreciate the convenience of this feature. To exclude an address, add it under the following registry value.
Hive: | HKEY_CURRENT_USER |
Key: | Software\Microsoft\RAS Autodial\Control |
Value Name: | DisabledAddresses |
Data Type: | REG_MULTI_SZ |
Value: | <disabled addresses> |
All addresses are case sensitive. This registry value is automatically created the first time you run AutoDial. After it is created, AutoDial does not modify it; you add the addresses you want to deactivate for the AutoDial service.
I-408 If you are experiencing a slight delay after you type your credentials in the Connecting to dialog box, you may have accumulated too many cached passwords. This registry entry lets you disable the caching feature.
Hive: | HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE |
Key: | System\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan\Parameters |
Add this value under the Parameters key:
Value Name: | DisableSavePassword |
Data Type: | REG_DWORD |
Value: | 1 |
Changing this value to 1 effectively clears all cached passwords and prevents RAS from caching any further phonebook entries. The default value is 0, which enables the password-caching feature. Restart your machine for these values to take effect.
I-409 Logging off closes all RAS connections. If you have a remote machine connected to your corporate LAN and multiple people use it, you might want to keep RAS connections open even when a person logs out. This registry entry keeps RAS connections even if you log out.

Key: | Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon |

Value: | 1 |
Restart the RAS service for this change to take effect.

Hive: | HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE |
Key: | System\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan\PPP |

Data Type: | REG_DWORD | |
Value: | 0 |
