SUMMARY
This article provides information about the password convention of Remote
Access Services (RAS) Point-to-Point (PTP) in Windows for Workgroups.
MORE INFORMATION
During setup of RAS PTP in Windows for Workgroups, you are presented with a
configuration dialog box. Be sure to select Allow Incoming Calls in this
dialog box. You may also want to enter a password in order to limit who has
remote access to your resources. (This password is the one remote users
must enter as their password for successful connection and validation to
RAS PTP.) Listed below are two common problems that occur with password
validation.
Your Computer Rejects Valid Incoming Calls
If your computer occasionally rejects incoming calls from people using the
valid password, restart RAS on the server computer, and then choose the
Answer button again on your computer. If the problem persists, restart RAS
on both the server and client computers.
RAS Error 691: Invalid User Account or Password
The password that the remote user must use for validation is the same
password the server setup used in the RAS PTP configuration. If the two
do not match, the above error appears.
