I have a Mixed-Mode network, with Windows NT 4.0 as my domain
controller and Logon Authorizer and Windows 2000 Server as my RAS
machine. I have set my IP Address Assignment with 5 static IP address
pool. The dial-up works fine, I get dial tone every time and connect.
Most of my users are people who use the same laptops (all with Windows
2000 Pro) in the office and remotely. All users have checked the box
"Use Windows Logon" in their dialing properties. Since they use the
same laptop in both cases, the login domain is always the same.
This all seems to work fine for email through Outlook 2000, Internet
browsing, network browsing and name resolution (we use no-routable IP
addresses internally). However, I'm not sure I totally understand
what's going on when their is another domain involved.
Questions:
1) When I dial in from a non-domain computer, I get Internet browsing
but none of the other 3 (Outlook, network or name resolution). Why?
I supply the domain name in my dial-up properties.
2) When I change the workgroup name to match the domain name, the same
connectivity above is true. I cannot change the domain name to match
the work domain name because I cannot authenticate that way.
3) Outlook is especially vexing. When I set up the email account
using MAPI by supplying the mail server name, it fails to connect.
When I use the IP address, it resolves the name but then still fails
to connect. Why? I have been able to setup up a POP3 session.
4) Is there a way to set a timeout for inactive users?
