Greetings,

I just set up a new Dell server with W2k server on it. The server is virtually a virgin with little additional software installed on it yet. I am trying to get it so I can VPN into the server. However, when Routing and Remote Accessis turned on, it loses all conectivity with the outside world. No internet access or remote administration is posible. If I turn off Routing and Remote Access, then everything works fine. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Steve

First call DELL and explain to them and they may know a very simple way, if they don't they have the expertise to help you over the phone, A simple test is to do these two things: 1st, phone the server from an outside phone; 2nd, from your terminal inside the server sphere that you are useing that server to serve, get up Microsoft Access go to veiw, go to toolbar, go to web and click, hit 'ENTER on the Adding Machine Face; next type in an address outside of your server network and again hit thesame enter, if that fails try a known to you MSN address and a known to you AOL address; if none of this works CALL DELL now 'cuz now it is a server technicians problem.

I have encountered the same problem.
Instead of using the wizard, configure it manually.
and it will work.

Thanks for the suggestions. As it turned out, the IP settings on the second nic card were wrong. Once they were changed, the Touting and Remote Access was started and everything worked.

Thanks again for taking the time to try to help.
