I have a W2K3 STD server that is doing the exact same thing. I haven't gotten back to it yet but if anyone has suggestions post them up! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neil Standley" <n...@net-venture.com> To: "NT System Admin Issues" <ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 13, 2010 4:29:34 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: RE: RRAS for PPTP VPN access on SBS 2003 R2 No filters.

Open up the RRAS control panel, expand IP Routing, select General. You’ll get a list of interfaces, right click on your adapter (probably called Local Area Connection, unless you’ve renamed it) and select Properties. Click on the Inbound and Outbound Filters buttons and delete all filters listed. That will remove packet filters and should free up your network access.

Every time we start the RRAS service it takes the network down and nobody can access the internet until the service is stopped. The server is configured to use only 1 of 2 NICs but I don’t believe that is the cause as I have read this is possible to do with only 1. So far there have been no events in event viewer for RRAS even though it’s configured to display errors and warnings which makes it terribly difficult to troubleshoot. I tried duplicating the RRAS settings from one of my 2003 R2 member servers which works great but it still doesn’t work. I need some help please. Details about his server: SBS 03 R2 (all the latest patches) 1 NIC is enabled (2 in the server) SBS is the only DHCP server on the network Firewall service is disabled RRAS is setup to issue IP addresses via DHCP Neil ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
