3. KNOWN ISSUES WITH MICROSOFT CONNECTION MANAGER 1.3
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
* If you are running Windows NT 4.0, you must manually configure
|
||
|
|
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) for your virtual private
|
||
|
|
network (VPN). To configure PPTP for VPN on Windows NT 4.0:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then
|
||
|
|
double-click Network.
|
||
|
|
2. On the Protocols tab, click Add, and then click Point To Point
|
||
|
|
Tunneling Protocol.
|
||
|
|
3. Click OK.
|
||
|
|
4. In Number of Virtual Private Networks, enter 1.
|
||
|
|
5. In the Remote Access Setup window, click Add.
|
||
|
|
6. In the Add RAS Device dialog box, select VPN1 - RASPPTPM, and
|
||
|
|
then click OK.
|
||
|
|
7. Select VPN1, and then click Configure.
|
||
|
|
8. In the Configure Port Usage dialog box, select Dial-Out Only, if
|
||
|
|
it is not already selected, and then click OK.
|
||
|
|
9. Click Network and make sure that TCP/IP is selected and then
|
||
|
|
complete the installation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If you are running Windows NT 4.0 and are using a Connection Manager
|
||
|
|
service profile that requires Dial-up Scripting, you must install
|
||
|
|
Windows NT Service Pack 6a or later. It is recommended that you install
|
||
|
|
the latest upgrade (currently Window NT Service Pack 6a). If you have
|
||
|
|
problems with Connection Manager that you cannot resolve using the
|
||
|
|
Connection Manager troubleshooting Help, uninstall RAS, re-install it,
|
||
|
|
and then re-install the Windows NT service pack. Verify in RAS that
|
||
|
|
VPN1 is configured for "Dial-Out Only." (See the above procedure for
|
||
|
|
the method for configuring VPN1.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* On Windows NT 4.0, if you try to establish more than one connection,
|
||
|
|
you might see the message, "The modem (or other connecting device) is
|
||
|
|
already in use or is not configured properly." This sometimes happens
|
||
|
|
if you try to dial too quickly, or if you start Connection Manager
|
||
|
|
when a connection has already been established using Dial-Up Networking.
|
||
|
|
Use one connection at a time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If you are running Windows NT 4.0 and you change the Disconnect
|
||
|
|
If Idle setting, the change will not take effect until you quit
|
||
|
|
Connection Manager and restart it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If you want to install a Connection Manager service profile on a
|
||
|
|
computer running Windows 98, you should uninstall the VPN1 adapter
|
||
|
|
before installing Connection Manager 1.3. Connection Manager installs
|
||
|
|
it but may not be able to reinstall over an existing VPN adapter.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Connection Manager does not support displaying a terminal window except
|
||
|
|
on Windows Whistler.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If you are using Windows CE Services, you must use version 3.0
|
||
|
|
(ActiveSync 3.0) or greater.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* When you install a version 1.0 Connection Manager profile on a Windows
|
||
|
|
2000 or Windows Whistler computer, you will receive an error which states
|
||
|
|
?The dynamic link library MSVCRT20.dll could not be found in the
|
||
|
|
specified path ??. Installation of the profile will succeed, but
|
||
|
|
you will have to depress F5 (function key 5) or restart your computer
|
||
|
|
for the desktop icon to display.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Connection Manager only supports single channel ISDN, except on
|
||
|
|
Windows 2000, Windows Millennium and Windows Whistler, where the
|
||
|
|
Administrator has specifically configured the service profile for
|
||
|
|
dual channel ISDN. The Bandwidth Allocation Protocol (BAP) is not
|
||
|
|
supported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Connection Manager 1.3 is currently unable to update the Connection
|
||
|
|
Manager binaries that shipped as a part of Windows 2000. Thus Connection
|
||
|
|
Manager 1.3 profiles installed on Windows 2000 will not be able to
|
||
|
|
take advantage of features that were not available in the Windows 2000
|
||
|
|
version of Connection Manager, although the profiles will otherwise work
|
||
|
|
normally.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* In this beta release, the new logging feature is not supported when
|
||
|
|
using a Connection Manager profile to log on to Windows.
