- TITLE :Browsing Non-Networked Computers Over RAS
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
- - Microsoft LAN Manager version 2.1
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- When you are using Remote Access Service (RAS) to call a computer that is
- not on a network (such as a computer at your home) from a networked
- computer (such as a computer at your office), you are unable to browse the
- non-networked computer for computer names and share names.
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- Browsing is automatically disabled in Windows NT if no network other than
- RAS is present. This behavior is based on the assumption that people will
- only call from the non-networked (home) computer to the networked (work)
- computer, and therefore have no need to browse the non-networked (home)
- computer.
-
- RESOLUTION
- ==========
-
- To work around this problem:
-
- 1. In the NCP/RAS/Configure/Advanced dialog box, make sure the Entire
- Network option is selected.
-
- 2. Make sure the non-networked (home) computer is a member of the domain or
- workgroup of the network where it is called from.
-
- 3. In the NCP/Add Adapter dialog box, select the Microsoft Loopback driver,
- and then choose Install.
-
- -or-
-
- Install an additional network card and driver (in addition to RAS).
-
- NOTE: You now have a fake network and options in File Manager and other
- applications appear to be active and functional, but are not functional
- unless you are having a RAS session to another machine.
