Make sure you have TCP/IP bound to your dialup adapter for starters (on your
client AND server computer).
I can't remember what the address is for a server modem once connected. Do
a winipcfg (win9x) or ipconfig (win2k) to get your modem IP address. The
server address is probably the same but with a .1 on the end.
Don't try to connect the the Name of the server computer like you might at
the office. It won't be recognized by your client dial-up computer. Use
the IP address.
Hope this helps.

I'm trying to connect to my PC at work from home (using a dialup). When I
tried to connect it keeps giving me the following error:
Fail to get server address. Did you type the host name correctly?
I don't have any problem connecting to other PC in the office while I'm in
the
office. what the problem?
