To enable the Routing and Remote Access service
1. If this server is a member of a Windows 2000 Active Directory domain and you are not a domain administrator, instruct your domain administrator to add the computer account of this server to the RAS and IAS Servers security group in the domain of which this server is a member. The domain administrator can add the computer account to the RAS and IAS Servers security group by using Active Directory Users and Computers or with the etsh ras add registeredserver command.
2. Open Routing and Remote Access.
