Hi! I am trying to setup windows xp as a dial in server.I click network connection, than new connection ,setup an advance connection,accept incoming connection,softv90 voice speaker modem,do now allow virtual private connection,user permission add everybody,than selected internet protocol and gave ip range from the list of static ip address.Thats it .

When i dial from the client computer the connection says, the computer u r dialing to is not responding.
I think i am not getting the column which says that mention the telephone number for the dial in server as it prompts in windows 2000 server.It is in the routing and remote access and than port setting click modem and configure and than specifiy the phone number.

How did you configure the dialer machine, what OS it has?

When you create a new Dialup connection and you select Modem as a device, the next screen asks you for Phone number in Windows 2k and higher.

hi naveedb
In dialer machine.I give the phone number of the dialin server which is windows xp machine.But in windows xp machine I am not getting any option to mention the phone number of that server as the option is precisely given in windows 2000 server in the routing and remote access server click port and than click on modem and than configure modem.There is one tab there to mention the phone number of dialin server(or that server itself)
Understood. ON the XP Machine, you will only need to select the Incomming device, which you selected as "softv90 voice speaker modem". Please not that XP is a client Operating System so it does not provide interface similar to Routing and Remote Access. That interface is only available in Windows 2003.

Having said that, it should work when you dialin. Can you try to dial the phone number of XP Machine on a regular line and tell me what happens, does it keep ringing and ringing or you hear Modem noises after few rings.

Also, Go into Control Pannel, Administrative tools, Services tab to see if Routing and Remote Access service is running, and there is no other program on the computer that is using the Modem.
on windows xp machine in here no ringing voice.Any way I will try it on windows 2003 .Please give me details how to cnfigure it on windows 2003 server.I am not getting the option which says mention the ip given to client machine in the routing and remote access server on windows 2003 server.
Thanx
I cant do the incoming connection on windows 2003 server because I don't have the legal copy of that.Anyhow I have to enable it on windows xp computer only

Hi naveedb
I am not getting your poing to allow VPN connection coz I don't have any known name or ip on the internet.Let me understand my scenario again
machine at office   192.168.0.10 (remote access server's ip)  having modem
want to access server which is having the ip 192.168.0.1
machine at home ip 192.168.0.98 (or from the static pool of ip which i select from the ip list at the time of setting remote access configuration) having modem

Now I think u get my scenario.Let me know if there is any other option through which I can access my office server.
"Allow VPN Connections" Next

You can select Don't Allow VPN Connection, should not make any difference since you do not have internet access, what matters is the device you selected earlier which is the Modem.
