Question 9 - I can’t seem to get RCTP to work


Question		I dial in and authenticate on the network OK and I can map a drive but I can’t get RCTP working.

Answer		It is well known that RCTP fails on W2K more often than not. You should be trying to open some sort of a terminal session (VNC, PC Anywhere or Terminal Service Session). To determine your options and decide how to connect try to RCMD into the machine and check the operating system version. As soon as you establish the RCMD session it will inform you that you are on a WinNT or W2K. If you are on W2K the only trick at this point is to figure out if you are on W2K Professional or a Server. To determine this, while in RCMD session, issue “net start” command. That will result in a list of services running currently on the server. If you see Terminal Services listed you are positively on the W2K server.
