Hi All
I am developing a NDIS 4.0 compliant driver for an ISDN adapter on Windows
NT 4.0 Workstation. I want to use this adapter and its ports with RAS. I am
facing a problem with the RAS setup as described below
I have installed the driver through the dialog based setup of the NCPA.
After installation of the driver through the oemsetnt.inf file it pops up a
message to configure the RAS service for the added adapter. In the services
tab when I try to configure the RAS service with RAS capable devices it
displays my device with ISDN1 as the port name.
However when I reboot the system, and then try to dial-up using dial-up
networking application—it pops up a message— “RasMan initialization
Failure. Error- 711”
On clicking the property tab of the Remote Access Service in the NCPA, it
pops up the message as
"The following ports have been removed since they are no longer installed on
this system
ISDN1"
On checking the registry— The entry for my device in the
“HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP” is not found.
However my device is shown as up and started in the devices tool of the
Administrative tools with all its resources allocated as shown in the WinNt
diagnostics tool.
The above mentioned problem of disappearing RAS ports is known problem and
Microsoft has provided Service Pack for its resolution as described in the
two links below.

However I am facing the same problem even after installing the Service Pack
6A on my system.
Can anybody please help me out of this.

Chirag Sanghani.
