Can I configure a Windows 2000 Professional computer to be a Remote Access Server? This option was available under NT but I can't find it in Win2000 Pro.

I have seen it available on Windows 2000 Server under Routing & Remote Access.

For all your knowledge need, easy, just surf to http://www.microsoft.com.

Anyway, here is a quick hint:
RAS is built-in W2K pro(you cannot remove it). At "Network and Dialup connections" to Make New Connection and check the wizard button "acceptIncoming connection" and let it guide you. You can have multiple outgoing connection but you can only have ONE incoming, for W2K pro.

For W2K Server you can have many, and the Admin tools have a separate RRAS applet to manage them)

Good luck
