SUMMARY
=======

This article describes how to configure the Remote Access Service (RAS) so that
a Dial-Up Networking (DUN) client using only the TCP/IP protocol can browse a
remote network.

MORE INFORMATION
================

NOTE: A DUN client is referred to as a RAS client in Windows NT versions 3.5 and
3.51.

By default, a Windows NT DUN client will browse a remote network only if the
client belongs to a workgroup or domain on the remote network. The workgroup or
domain name for the DUN client computer should be the same as the workgroup or
domain name of the RAS server to which it is connecting.

To configure RAS so that a DUN client using only the TCP/IP protocol can browse a
remote network, follow these steps:

1. Configure the DUN client's workgroup name to be the same as the workgroup or
   domain name of the remote network to which you are connecting. This setting
   can be adjusted in the Network tool in Control Panel.

   NOTE: On a Windows NT 4.0-based computer, click the Logon Using Dial-Up
   Networking check box on the logon screen to enable it. This is needed to log
   on to a remote domain from the DUN client.

2. On the remote network, install and configure the WINS service.

   NOTE: The WINS server service does not need to be installed on the computer
   acting as the RAS server.

3. On the RAS server, configure the TCP/IP protocol to register with the WINS
   server. This setting can be adjusted in the Network tool in Control Panel.

   NOTE: For a computer on the remote network to appear on the browse list on the
   DUN client, it must be registered with the WINS server.

4. The DUN client is configured to use server-assigned name server addresses by
   default; this is the recommended setting for this configuration.

   NOTE: If needed, you can specify name server addresses in the TCP/IP settings
   of the DUN phone book entry, and then use the IP address of the remote WINS
   server.
