SYMPTOMS
========
If multiple computers are configured as both RAS clients and RAS IPX servers on
the same network, only one of them at a time can dial into a second network
using IPX.
CAUSE
=====
When a RAS client connected to Network A and configured as a RAS IPX server,
dials through IPX into a RAS server on Network B, the server assigns the client
a Network B number. The client (configured as an IPX router because it's a RAS
IPX server) advertises the Network B number on Network A. Other RAS IPX servers
pick up the Network B number in their routing tables, and when they try to dial
into Network B with IPX, they receive the RASPHONE.EXE message:
IPX CP reported error 744: Cannot use the IPX network number
assigned by remote server. Check the eventlog.
The eventlog shows RemoteAccess Error # 20078:
The IPX network number XXXXXXXX configured for the WAN interface is already
in use on the LAN. Possible solutions: 1) Disconnect this computer from the
LAN and wait 3 minutes before dialing again; 2) Configure this computer for
dialout only."
WORKAROUND
==========
Make the other IPX clients dialout-only,
-or-
Configure the RAS server to assign different network numbers to IPX clients. Here
is the procedure:
(Control Panel->Network->Configure RAS->Network-> Server Settings:
IPX->Configure..-> un-check the checkbox: "Assign same network number to
all IPX clients.
