We have a server running Win2k Server which runs DHCP. There are two NICs installed. One runs to the network, the other directly to the cable modem router. We have a static IP and are trying to get VPN started. However, everytime we configure RAS, DHCP stops releasing IPs and error "64" is recorded in the DHCP log. We have already checked the bindings and the DHCP relay agent points to the adapter that DHCP is binded too. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here's a statement from a Technet article about using the DHCP Relay Agent to assign IP addresses and options to RAS clients: "NOTE: The DHCP Relay Agent must be installed on the RAS server but cannot be run on the same system as the DHCP server."This sounds like it might be the source of your problem. I am not 100% sure of this, but I was reading some stuff recently in connection with setting up ISA server, and I believe that the alternative to using the relay agent is to configure the internal NIC of the server with static addresses for WINS and DNS (which I normally do anyway), and that these addresses will be picked up automatically by RAS clients. Hope this helps!
