modem to modem not working anymore

[nightmoon]

a friend and I often connect modem to modem using dial up server, before it would work without requiring a password, but now when I dial to him it prompts a user logon whereas he doesn't even have any password and vice versa.

hope anyone can help me. thanks.

I don't thnk i have that.
Where do you see that anyway?

sorry, i miss spoke. remote access server NOT manager. the manager is part of windows on the user end. the server is.... well, the server.

a RAS is used by ISP's and other systems wanting to authenticate and register users on the network. you more than likely don't have/need one.
