ARA 3.0: Errors Enabling Answering With IP Dial-In

"Answering is enabled for AppleTalk services. No IP services will be available for remote users. Check if TCP/IP and AppleTalk control panels are configure correctly."

In order to use both AppleTalk and TCP/IP in the ARA 3.0 personal server, both protocols must be set to use the same interface (Ethernet, for example). If you set TCP/IP to Ethernet and set AppleTalk to the printer port, then you will get this error.

A common misconfiguration that causes this error is setting the TCP/IP control panel to configure via PPP. This will not work for the server; TCP/IP must be configured for the interface that AppleTalk is set to.

"Answering is Disabled. Default Client's IP Address is being used by another user. Enter another IP Address and try enabling Answering again.

This message comes up in two situations:

• Another device on the IP network is already using the IP address entered in ARA's Answering dialog box.
• The IP address in the Answering dialog box is not on the same network as the IP address in the TCP/IP control panel. Double check the IP address in ARA's answering dialog box, and the IP address and subnet mask entered in the TCP/IP control panel.
