A. Ityou are using Point-to-Point Protocol and wish to debug its possible to enablelogging as follows:
To enable logging on a server box:
Start the Routing and Remote Access Services (RRAS) tool in Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
In the left pane, right-click the RRAS server for which you want to enable logging, and then click Properties.
Click the Event Logging tab.
Click to select the Enable Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) logging check box.
On the Windows 2000 Professional machine:
Open a command prompt window on the RRAS server for which you want to enable logging.
Type the following command, pressing ENTER after each command:
netsh
ras
set tracing PPP enable
All PPP activity to the Ppp/log file in the %systemroot%tracing folder.This uses quite a lot of resource so make sure you disable once you have loggedthe required data.
Open a command prompt window on the RRAS server for which you want to disable logging.
Type the following command, pressing ENTER after each command:
netsh
ras
set tracing PPP disabled
This can also be set via the registry:
Start the registry editor (Regedit.exe)
Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftTracingPPP
Set EnableConsoleTracing (for Win2k Server) or EnableFileTracing (for Win2k Prof) to 1
Close the registry editor
