Remote Access Server (dial-in and access the Internet)

Remote Access Server solution

At times it may be necessary to access your corporate network from the outside world via telephone and use that Internet access. WinRoute provides this functionality on WindowsNT with RAS services installed and configured.

There are specific rules that need to be applied:

In another words, the network card (NIC) leading to your local network must have the IP address from one subnet (e.g. 192.168.1.1) while the user connecting to your server via RAS must get an IP address from a different network (e.g. 192.168.2.1). WinRoute acts as the router - it can route the packets between two or more interfaces from different networks - not from the same one.

This type of setup mirrors that of a small ISP. WinRoute does not limit the number of users accessing your NT server simultaneously. Note that each RAS user, if accessing the Internet through WinRoute, is being NAT'd and therefore counts as a WinRoute user.
