I have one W2K server with AD, DHCP,DNS. I would like to enable RAS.

I can and connect with a dial in. However I get an IP address of 169.254.11.194. I also see in the event log: Unable to contact a DHCP server. The Automatic Private IP Address 169.254.11.194 will be assigned to dial-in clients. Clients may be unable to access resources on the network.

Can I use RAS and have DHCP assign on the same server?

any config help will be appreciated.

Thanks
TM

on the ras server properties (rras mmc) you have to give the ip address of the dhcp sever.
than restart the ras service and look at the event viewer for any errors.
in any case you can insall dhcp on the same server as the ras .how ever you will need to configure it not to assign the same addresses as the other dhcp.

Yes to AD, DHCP,DNS. I take it you have an internal DHCP that assigns a certain range of IPs. When you set up RAS, if you don't go through the wizard or setup a range of IPs that your DHCP assigns, then the Ras server takes over and assigns IP#s in the 169. range. On the RAS, set up a range that won't conflict with your internal workstations... but in the same range ex ( 172. or 10.).... or a better way...
Assign each user who dials in their own IP# When they configure their laptops or remote computers they will enter the information rather than pick it up from the DHCP on your system. With this inf you will know who is logged on, when and how long.
