JSI Tip 0371 - Logging your RAS connection.

Depending on whether your using UniModem (default for NT 4.0) or Modem.INF ( see tip 234 ), the method for enabling logging of your RAS connection is different. To insure that logging is enabled:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesRasManParameters and change Logging, a type REG_DWORD to 1.

This will generate a device log at %SystemRoot%System32rasDEVICE.LOG.

Using the UniModem driver, you can also enable %SystemRoot%Modemlog_.txt by using:

Control Panel / Modems to select your modem and click on Properties /Connection tab /Advanced and checking Record a log file.

Here is a sample of %SystemRoot%System32rasDEVICE.LOG:
