Re: ipnat.sys firewall and RDC

Thanks for that...

I actually did already find this to be the case.
I had static routes in for the extended network, and this made the firewall
not work - so the RDC settings were irrelevant and so I was unable to get to
the machine via RDC.
Removing the static routes and then disabling RRAS did indeed work.

Is this a design to have the firewall turn off when you give additional
static routes???
