Note
| • | To open Network Connections, click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections. |
| • | If you make another incoming network connection, and you use the New Connection Wizard again, the existing incoming network connection is reconfigured. |
| • | To create an incoming network connection, you must be a member of the Administrators group. |
| • | For large numbers of incoming connections on a server that operates as part of a distributed network or as a domain controller, use Routing and Remote Access to create a remote access server. |
| • | If your incoming connection and Fax Service have problems working together (for example, you cannot receive incoming connection calls on a device enabled for Fax receive), the modem may not support adaptive answer. Check your modem documentation to verify that you need to disable Fax receive for that device to accept incoming connections. |
| • | Incoming connections are only used for dial-up, VPN, or direct connection clients. |
