IF @RAS = 0
<commands when logged on locally>
ELSE
<commands when logged on by RAS>
ENDIF

then, when the kix script finishes, NETLOGON.BAT continues and calls another batch file (LOCAL.BAT) from a corporate network drive. LOCAL.BAT, also call another Kix script (SCRIPT2.KIX) in which I have the Macro @RAS, using the same syntax as the previous script...

The problem with these 2 laptops, is when they get to the 2nd kix script, the logon script hangs on the @RAS macro... the logon script window (kinda DOS window) stays there and doesnt terminate. The Windows GUI appears normally and the user can work normally. To close the script window, I have to do an "End Task" with Task Manager...

After the error occurs, if I do a logoff/logon, then the next time it will hang on the 1st occurence of the @RAS macro on the 1st Kixtart script (SCRIPT1.KIX). However, If I cold or warm reboot the computer, It will hang on the 2nd occurence of the @RAS...

Sometimes, if I modifiy the network settings, it will not hang the 1st time, but the problems reappears...

I tried to reinstall the RAS service on the NT machines, but the problem reappeared...

The laptops are using 2 NIC. One in the Dock station and one in the PCMCIA slot. I tried to give a static IP address to the card in the PCMCIA slot, and it seemed to resolve the problem, but I would like to continue using DHCP because the IP I gave is not compatible when the user logs on using RAS (because the RAS server is in another IP range and it uses DHCP to assign IP Addresses)

So, I upgraded KiXtart recently from 3.62 to 3.63, but this did not resolved my problem...

Do you have any idea of what is going on ?

Thanks in advance

I don't have a solution, but you might want to email this guy and ask him if he has any update ...

This might be a caused by using two net-cards.

If the @Ras macro always works the first time you could try this:

Script1:

IF @RAS = 0
<commands when logged on locally>
Set "RAS=NO"
ELSE
<commands when logged on by RAS>
Set "RAS="
ENDIF

Script2:

IF %RAS% = "NO"
<commands when logged on locally>
ELSE
<commands when logged on by RAS>
ENDIF
