The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0 
- Microsoft Routing and Remote Access Service Update for Windows NT Server version 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

When you use the Routing and Remote Access service (RRAS) update with RADIUS
authentication and accounting, your RADIUS server will only log one entry even
when a multilink Remote Access Service (RAS) client connects.

CAUSE
=====

The RRAS server is only sending one accounting log when a multilink client
connects to it, instead of sending one accounting log for each port the client
is using. For example, the RRAS server should have two accounting logs for a RAS
client when it connects using ISDN at 128 Kbps (64 Kbps x 2).

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Routing and Remote Access Update
for Windows NT Server version 4.0. This problem was corrected in the Routing
& Remote Access Service Hotfix Update. You can obtain this update from
Microsoft's World Wide Web Site on the Internet at the following location:
