Hi Ethan,
As I understand, on demand dial connection doesn't occur automatically.
RRAS is usually used for client computers to dial in to his network, not
for computers to dial-out to ISP.
I. If you want to share the connections, you can create a dial-up
connection to your ISP and share it using Internet Connection Sharing (ICS).
II. If you are using DOD connection with his ISP, please let me how you set
it up on both your side and ISP's side.
Please first clarify the followings:
1. Please let us know the network topology.
2. Please check whether static routes have been added to rigger a DOD.
3. Check event log for more information.
4. Restart remoteaccess by follow the steps below to check the issue again:
You can also restart RRAS from the command line:
C:\> net stop remoteaccess
C:\> net start remoteaccess
5. Did you receive any error message?
Next, I suggest you enable RRAS and DUN logging. Certain registry keys to
enable RRAS and DUN logging are not present in the registry immediately
after you perform a "clean" installation of Windows 2000. These keys are
not added because there is not yet a connection that will use them.
Some of these keys are: BAP, IPBOOTP, PPP, RASIPCP, RASCHAP, RASPAP,
RASSPAP, and so on.
To make these keys appear, create a DUN connection:
1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click "Network and Dial-up
Connections".
2. Click Make New Connection.
3. Follow the instructions in the "Network Connection wizard" to create a
new dial-up connection. Creating a new connection creates the registry keys
listed above.
The keys are created in the registry under the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Tracing
Certain other components in the Windows 2000 Server products add additional
options to the Tracing key. Items such as routing protocols (RIP and OSPF),
Dial-on-Demand connections, and the Internet Authentication Service (IAS)
have several components for which logging may be enabled.
In addition, I would like to let you know that it is necessary to add
static routes in the route table to trigger a DOD interface to make a
connection. This is the opposite of how RIP and OSPF operate, because RIP
and OSPF do not require static routes to operate. In fact, RIP and OSPF are
designed to prevent an administrator from having to add static routes to a
route table. RIP and OSPF simply listen for dynamic route updates and add
new routes to the route table as appropriate.
For detailed information, please refer to this Knowledge Base article:

Hope this address your concern.
