How do you accept the incoming call-back from the MAX? With RAS server?
Then you have to define the IP Adress for the NT station in RAS server
settings. Define a pool of Ip adresses, in which you exclude all addresses
that are not wanted.
For example:
MAX has 1.2.3.254, NT workstation should get 1.2.3.80
Define a pool with rang 1.2.3.80 to 1.2.3.254, and exclude 1.2.3.5 to
1.2.3.253. Then the NT station knows both his own IP adress (the first
from the pool) and the one of the MAX (the last pool address).
It's not working fine, but it works. (ou often get errors in the DUN
saying remote end has suddelny hang up etc.)
You can pack alltogether into a DOS batch script that works with the
"rasdial"-command. We use these scripts for home workers that do not know
how the correct order of mouse clicks should be (first DUN, then, after
the error message when the MAX hangs up, close DUN, and wait for the RAS
server to get the call-back).
ALL problems would be gone if MAX would support the MS extensions for
call-back. Then a nice little window would appear on the DUN-screen saying
"waiting for call-back from MAX" and no ugly scriptings would have to be
necessary. Anybody knows if these MS extensions are implemented in an
incremental release?
