Remote Access Service

Chapter 15

Remote Access Service

So far, this book has described the Winsock API available in Microsoft Windows that allows you to develop applications capable of communicating over a local network. This chapter describes an important service named Remote Access Service (RAS), which allows users to connect their computer to a remote network such as an ISP or a corporate network. Once connected, you can use the network functions described throughout this book as though your computer were connected directly to a remote network.
