Re: VPN and LAN conflicts



After connecting to the RRAS, the server should have PPTP IP information. I don't see it.

Here is the ipconfig /all results:

I have another NIC as well on the system but it is diabled.

Here is an event entry that cocured right after I disabled RRAS (not sure if
its related):
Event Type: Information
Event Source: MSExchangeTransport
Event Category: Routing Engine/Service
Event ID: 994
Date: 7/19/2006
Time: 2:22:46 PM
User: N/A
Computer: LSC-SERVER
Description:
Following connector's linkstate is suppressed because it either points to or
comes from a leaf RG node. <CN=SmallBusiness SMTP
connector,CN=Connections,CN=first routing group,CN=Routing Groups,CN=first
administrative group,CN=Administrative Groups,CN=First
Organization,CN=Microsoft
Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=lakestreetcapital,DC=local>

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

There were no event errors in the log.

Let me also mention this if it will be helpful: When I boot up conected to
the LAN I cannot get passed applying your personal settings. Then I unplug
the LAN cable, boot up and plug the cable back in. I can now ping all
machines and access the web but I cannot connect the the Exchange server.
Even my mobile phone cannot activesync with the exchnage server. After I stop
the RRAS service evything returns to normal. FInally, I only have RRAS
configured to act as a romte access server (i.e. no routing).

Thank you very much for your help.
