>One of our users is trying to connect to our RAS server via dial-up. She has NetBEUI installed and TCP-IP, but she doesn't have an IP address. I can't seem to find the DHCP service on the server but it should be assigning an IP address to each user as they dial in.

>The error message she is getting is "Remote Host is currently unavailable". The problem is specific to her computer because other users are connecting the same using the same method.

>She can actually connect via dial-up, then she attempts to run a datatransfer utility (written in VFP). The program attempts to make an FTP connection and I think this is where the error is occurring. When I check the Remote Service Administrator on the server, it shows that she is connected and her computer name is indicated, however there isn't any IP address showing up.

>I know that she doesn't have any internet service and she doesn't have an IP address on her computer. Is she required to have one?

No, but she must have a TCP/IP stack installed and bound to the Dial-Up adaptyer; if all she has is NetBEUI, she can't get an IP address...
>I am a little unfamiliar with the code for this program as I didn't write it. Any suggestions on what this problem might be. Sorry for the lack of details....
