I have a client with a remote office set up to connect to an SME server using PPTP VPN from the 2 PCs there (1 x WinXP, 1 x Win98). They use a terminal emulator to access the main system (a Unix server) but in order for them to print locally, each PC must have a fixed IP address.
I can configure this in the Dial Up settings of both the XP & 98 VPN dial-up connections, but it is ignored in Win98 (!) and in Win XP I get the following error: "735 Server not configured to permit clients that request specific IP addresses or IP address in use"
I have tried a range of IP Nos & so I don't believe its the 'In use' that's the problem. So is the SME server set to reject connections that aren't on DHCP (or can it be?).
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
