Re: RRAS on W2K3

That doesn't really sound like a RRAS problem. If you can ping a site,
the routing is working!

Running RRAS on a DC is certainly a bad idea, and PPPoE probably makes
it worse, because there are now three interfaces involved. See this KB for
the sort of problems running RRAS on a DC causes.

Hi Bill,


That's exactly what I thought - it just doesn't work :-(
From the server and the LAN clients I am only able to ping servers around
the world - not to access them ;-( Maybe it's because I'm doing DC and
RRAS
at the same time?


BR,

Not really. As far as RRAS is concerned, the outside or public
interface
is the interface which has a connection to the Internet. It can sometimes
have a private IP if it is PPPoE, because it connects to the public
network
at your ISP. But with PPPoE it is the actual PPPoE interface, not the
external NIC of the server.

The private interface in RRAS/NAT is your local LAN which needs NAT
to
access the Internet.

Hi Bill,

Thank you for answering. OK, so I have already configured the PPPoE
interface as public (with/without firewall - it didn't do any
difference).
What I have not tried is to configure the actual WAN NIC as
non-public -
i.e.
private. That is what you suggest, right? I will try that this evening,
when
I get back to the server.


BR,
Gustav

You need to be careful with PPPoE and RRAS/NAT. The PPPoE interface
needs
to be configured as the "public" interface, not the external NIC.

Dear Robert,


Again thank you for your response. I went to the link below and
tried
out
the case study. In addition, I also followed other related links
from
that
web site. Unfortunately, nothing seemed to solve my problems. It now
occurs
to me, however, that I cannot access the internet when connected
using
the
dial-demand adapter created from within the RRAS manager. However,
if I
create a PPPoE connection under Network Connections and connect
using
this
'adapter', then I am able to connect to the internet from the
server,
but
still not the from client(s). If I connect to the ISP using the RRAS
demand-dial adapter, then I am able to ping all the pingable hosts
in
the
world, but I just cannot connect to them (time-out). I did a tracert
to
yahoo.com, and it looked like:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>tracert yahoo.com

Tracing route to yahoo.com [66.94.234.13]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 * * * Request timed out.
2 1 ms <1 ms <1 ms geth0-100.gtx00-ves.broadcom.dk
[212.99.255.33]

3 * * * Request timed out.
4 * * * Request timed out.
5 * * * Request timed out.
6 ^C
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>


Not much connection here. Maybe its just not possible to have DC and
RRAS
on
the same server? Any suggestions fro here?


BR,
Gustav

Hi Robert,

Thank you for your quick reply. OK, so I went through the list in
the
link
that you provided. Unfortunately, none of the points could solve
my
problem.
As goes for the filters - no filters (inbound/outgoing) are
listed
in
my RRAS
configuration. Therefore I assume, that there are none - maybe
they
are
listed elsewhere? Furthermore, I have also tried to setup the
W2k3
server
doing 'just' NAT without VPN (using the same wizard). It does not
make
any
difference. When I disable RRAS and to ICS then it actually works
fine.
I
should also mention, that this particular server runs the DC
service
along
with the DHCP and DNS services. Does this prohibit the RRAS
service?
What am
I missing here?


BR,
Gustav
