Hopefully this information will also apply to Windows 2000:
1) Under Windows NT the serial cable device is installed/configured in the
Modem utility in Control Panel and is listed under Standard Modem Types as
"Dial-Up Networking Serial Cable between 2 PCs."
2) Make sure your all serial connection speeds match. Null modem cables
will not auto-negotiate a connection speed like a modem will. If that
doesn't work, try slowing down your connection speed to 9,600. Again, it
must match everywhere
4) Make sure you are using a null modem cable that is properly wired as per
the linked Microsoft diagram in my previous message.
5) If you don't have a complete proper null cable, try switching to
software flow control. Either way, make sure this setting matches on both
machines. Remember, there is no auto-negotiation that is going to happen.
6) Don't forget to start the RAS Server Service on the Windows NT computer
and make sure the user who is connecting has RAS Dial-in permissions.
If I can think of anything else, I will let you know. Please let us know if
you get it working and details of the solution.
