A. It you are using Point-to-Point Protocol and wish to debug its possible to enable logging 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 logged the 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_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Tracing\PPP
- Set EnableConsoleTracing (for Win2k Server) or EnableFileTracing (for Win2k Prof) to 1
- Close the registry editor
