    <h4><a name="Advanced7"><u>5.7</u></a><u> Addressing a
    specific Service and/or Access Concentrator</u></h4>
    <p>In most cases, there is <strong>no</strong> need to
    address a specific Service or Access Concentrator. But should
    you have a need to do so, you can use the <strong>phone
    number</strong> field of your dial-up connection to specify a
    <strong>Service</strong>, <strong>Access Concentrator</strong>
    or <strong>both</strong>. The following phone number formats
    are possible:</p>
    <ol type="A" start="1">
        <li><strong>Blank</strong> or <strong>&quot;0&quot;</strong>:
            The protocol will connect to the <strong>default</strong>
            Service of the <strong>first</strong> Access
            Concentrator that <strong>replies</strong> to the
            connection request.</li>
        <li><strong>&quot;Service-Name&quot;</strong>: The
            protocol will connect to the <strong>first</strong>
            Access Concentrator that <strong>replies</strong>
            offering the <strong>requested</strong> Service.</li>
        <li><strong>&quot;Access-Concentrator\&quot;</strong>:
            The protocol will connect to the <strong>default</strong>
            Service of the <strong>named</strong> Access
            Concentrator.</li>
        <li><strong>&quot;Access-Concentrator\Service-Name&quot;</strong>:
            The protocol will connect to the <strong>requested</strong>
            Service of the <strong>named</strong> Access
            Concentrator.</li>
    </ol>
    <p>The <strong>RASPPPOE</strong> application uses format <strong>A</strong>
    for the phone number if you create a connection for an <strong>adapter</strong>
    and format <strong>C</strong> or <strong>D</strong> if you
    create a connection for a specific <strong>service</strong>.</p>
    <h4><a name="Advanced8"><u>5.8</u></a><u> Enabling the
    protocol to act as a PPPoE Access Concentrator</u></h4>
    <p>The protocol is able to act as a PPPoE <strong>Access
    Concentrator</strong> (server). This feature can be used for
    testing purposes, but also offers a <strong>future</strong>
    potential for advanced provider services like <strong>instant
    messaging</strong> or <strong>instant e-mail</strong> even
    for users who are <strong>offline</strong> at the time a
    message is received. The server capability is fully
    integrated with the operating system's <strong>Incoming
    connections</strong> component. No PPPoE-specific
    configuration is needed. The protocol uses the current <strong>Computer
    Name</strong> as the <strong>Access Concentrator Name</strong>
    and offers <strong>any Service Name</strong> requested by a
    client. Note that the protocol will <strong>not</strong>
    offer any services until you <strong>explicitly</strong>
    enable its dial-up devices to accept incoming connections. To
    do this, follow these steps:</p>
    <ul>
        <li>Right-click the <strong>My Network Places</strong>
            icon on your desktop and select <strong>Properties</strong>
            to bring up the <strong>Network and Dial-up
            Connections</strong> window.</li>
        <li>Double-click <strong>Make New Connection</strong> and
            click <strong>Next</strong>. </li>
        <li>Select <strong>Accept incoming connections</strong>
            and click <strong>Next</strong>.</li>
        <li>The list of <strong>Connection devices</strong>
            should contain the names of the network adapters in
            your system. Check all network adapters through which
            you want to accept incoming connections and click <strong>Next</strong>.</li>
        <li>Choose whether you want to allow <strong>virtual
            private connections</strong> and click <strong>Next</strong>.</li>
        <li>Select the user accounts which should be allowed to
            connect to your machine and click <strong>Next</strong>.</li>
        <li>Select the networking components you want to enable
            for the incoming connections. Note that <strong>PPP
            over Ethernet Protocol</strong> will also be shown in
            this list, but its checkbox will be grayed out.</li>
        <li>If you enable the <strong>Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)</strong>
            for incoming connections, you may also want to click
            on the <strong>Properties</strong> button to define
            the <strong>IP addresses</strong> to use for the
            incoming connections.</li>
        <li>Click <strong>Next</strong> and then click <strong>Finish</strong>
            to finish the wizard and enable the server. The <strong>Network
            and Dial-up Connections</strong> window will now
            contain an additional item named <strong>Incoming
            Connections</strong>.</li>
        <li>If you want to disable the server only for a specific
            network adapter, right-click the <strong>Incoming
            Connections</strong> item, select <strong>Properties</strong>,
            <strong>clear</strong> the checkbox next to the name
            of that network adapter and click <strong>OK</strong>
            to stop the protocol from offering services on that
            network adapter.</li>
        <li>If you want to disable accepting <strong>any</strong>
            connection on your machine (not only through this
            protocol, but through <strong>all</strong> dial-up
            devices installed on your machine), right-click the <strong>Incoming
            Connections</strong> item, select <strong>Delete</strong>
            and confirm to stop the protocol from offering any
            services.</li>
    </ul>
    <p>For further help on using <strong>Incoming Connections</strong>,
    please refer to the operating system's documentation on this
    topic.</p>

<h3><a name="Section6"><u>6.</u></a><u> Troubleshooting</u></h3>

<p>This section helps you with possible problems you might
encounter during the installation and use of the protocol.</p>

<blockquote>
    <h4><a name="Trouble1"><u>6.1</u></a><u> Right after
    installation of the protocol, the Local Area Connection
    properties window lists no components</u></h4>
    <p>This happens when the protocol could not be properly
    installed and appears to be a bug in <strong>Windows</strong>.
    Clicking the <strong>OK</strong> button at this point gives
    an error message that no components are installed. Click the <strong>Cancel</strong>
    button to close the properties dialog and then re-open it
    again to get the list of components back. Select <strong>PPP
    over Ethernet Protocol</strong> in the list, click the <strong>Uninstall</strong>
    button and confirm to remove the bad installation. Before you
    make another installation attempt, make sure that <strong>Windows</strong>
    is <strong>not</strong> set to <strong>block</strong> the
    installation of unsigned drivers:</p>
    <ul>
        <li>Right-click the <strong>My Computer</strong> icon on
            your desktop and select <strong>Properties</strong>.</li>
        <li>Select the <strong>Hardware</strong> tab and click
            the <strong>Driver Signing...</strong> button.</li>
        <li>Make sure that <strong>File signature verification</strong>
            is <strong>not</strong> set to <strong>Block -
            Prevent installation of unsigned files</strong>.</li>
        <li>Change the setting if required and click <strong>OK</strong>
            to put the change into effect.</li>
    </ul>
    <p>If <strong>File Signature verification</strong> is set to <strong>Warn
    - Display a message before installing an unsigned file</strong>,
    make sure you click <strong>&quot;Yes&quot;</strong> (Windows
    2000) or <strong>&quot;Continue Anyway&quot;</strong> (Windows
    XP/2002) <strong>every time</strong> in the warning dialog
    box that comes up during the protocol installation. Clicking
    any other button even just once will prevent proper
    installation and result in the same problem.</p>
    <p>If you still cannot install the protocol properly, do the
    following: Locate the file <strong>SETUPAPI.LOG</strong> in
    your <strong>WINNT</strong> directory and <strong>delete</strong>
    it. Make another installation attempt (which will probably
    fail as well). Then check your <strong>WINNT</strong>
    directory again for the file <strong>SETUPAPI.LOG</strong>
    and load it into a text editor, e.g. <strong>NOTEPAD</strong>.
    The contents of this file should give you some hints abut the
    cause of the installation failure.</p>

    <h4><a name="Trouble2"><u>6.2</u></a><u> RASPPPOE application
    does not list the desired adapter</u></h4>
    <p>First, be aware that you can use this protocol only on <strong>Ethernet</strong>
    adapters. As <strong>PPP over Ethernet</strong> only works
    over Ethernet, the protocol will only bind itself to Ethernet
    adapters (<strong>NdisMedium802_3</strong>). Adapters that do
    not support this medium type (e.g. internal or USB broadband
    modems that do <strong>not</strong> expose a standard
    Ethernet interface <strong>through their driver</strong>) are
    <strong>not</strong> supported by this protocol.</p>
    <p>You should make sure that the <strong>Local Area
    Connection</strong> for the adapter in question is <strong>enabled</strong>:</p>
    <ul>
        <li>Right-click the <strong>My Network Places</strong>
            icon on your desktop and select <strong>Properties</strong>
            to bring up the <strong>Network and Dial-up
            Connections</strong> window.</li>
        <li>Go to the menu and select <strong>View</strong> then <strong>Details</strong>
            to bring up a detailed view of the network
            connections on your machine.</li>
        <li>You should find one or more <strong>Local Area
            Connection</strong> objects. Locate the one for the
            network adapter in question, and check the <strong>Status</strong>
            column.</li>
        <li>If the Status is <strong>disabled</strong>, right-click
            the <strong>Local Area Connection</strong> and select
            <strong>Enable</strong>.</li>
        <li>If enabling fails, check in <strong>Device Manager</strong>
            for possible problems with this adapter.</li>
        <li>If you successfully enabled the adapter, re-run the <strong>RASPPPOE</strong>
            application and check whether the adapter is listed
            now.</li>
    </ul>
    <p>If the adapter still does not show up, make sure that the
    protocol is enabled for the adapter in question:</p>
    <ul>
        <li>Right-click the <strong>Local Area Connection</strong>
            of the adapter in question and select <strong>Properties</strong>.</li>
        <li>In the properties dialog box, check the list of
            installed components. Make sure that the checkbox
            next to <strong>PPP over Ethernet Protocol</strong>
            is <strong>checked</strong>.</li>
        <li>If the checkbox is <strong>clear</strong>, check it.
            You may be prompted about the digital signature again.
            Make sure you click <strong>&quot;Yes&quot;</strong> <strong>every
            time</strong> you are prompted.</li>
        <li>If the <strong>Local Area Connection</strong>
            properties dialog box lists <strong>no</strong>
            components now, see <a href="#Trouble1">above</a>.</li>
        <li>Click <strong>OK</strong> to close the <strong>Local
            Area Connection</strong> properties dialog box.</li>
        <li>Right-click the <strong>Local Area Connection</strong>
            in the <strong>Network Connections</strong> window
            and select <strong>Disable</strong>.</li>
        <li>Right-click the <strong>Local Area Connection</strong>
            again and select <strong>Enable</strong>.</li>
        <li>Re-run the <strong>RASPPPOE</strong> application and
            check if the adapter is listed now.</li>
    </ul>
    <p>If the adapter <strong>still</strong> does not show up,
    try the following:</p>
    <ul>
        <li>Right-click the <strong>Local Area Connection</strong>
            in the <strong>Network Connections</strong> window
            and select <strong>Disable</strong>.</li>
        <li>Right-click the <strong>Local Area Connection</strong>
            again and select <strong>Enable</strong>.</li>
        <li>The <strong>RASPPPOE</strong> application should list
            the desired adapter now.</li>
    </ul>
