Cannot Connect with Dial-Up Networking When WSP Client Is Enabled

RESOLUTION

On SBS client computers, it is normal for the WinSock Proxy Client (WSP Client tool in the Control Panel) to be installed and enabled by default. This is to allow for the SBS client computers to use the SBS server as a proxy to the Internet.

To allow for IP traffic to use a dial-up networking session from an SBS client computer, the WSP Client must be disabled for the duration of the dial-up networking session.

To Disable the WSP Client

1. Click Start, click Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. In Control Panel, double-click WSP Client.
3. Click to clear the Enable WinSock Proxy Client check box.
4. Click OK.
5. Restart your computer when prompted.

NOTE: It is not necessary to restart the client computer after disabling the WSP Client unless there is an active WinSock session.

To re-establish Internet connectivity through the SBS server, follow the above steps, only enable the WinSock Proxy Client.

All CERN compatible applications like Internet Explorer should be configured NOT to use Proxy Server.

To do so in Internet Explorer, on the View menu, click Internet Options. Click the Connections tab, and then click to clear the Access the Internet using a proxy server check box.
