I have tried everything and nothing seems to fix this
problem. Here is the contents of the rraslog.txt file:

3/22/2004 2:22 PM
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small Business
Server\Networking\RRASWiz\wizrras.dll, version 5.2.2651.0

This is from the last run. These are identical everytime I
run the Remote Access Wizard in Windows Small Business
Server 2003.

I have been working on this for 3 days and my customer is
getting impatient. Any ideas would be helpful.

I was going to uninstall and reinstall but WSBS2003 does
not seem to have a way to do that for RRAS.

Thanks
Rick
