RE: RAS Setup and Implimentation

Hi David,

Thanks for your post.

>From the description, I understand that your issue is that you can not
establish the VPN connection using the remote connection disk. If I'm off
base, please let me know.

Before we start, I'd like to gather the following information:

1. Is the VPN connection configured by "configure remote access" wizard in
the SBS server?

Please re-run the configure remote access wizard to configure the VPN:

a). Open the server management and come to TO DO LIST
b). Run the 'Configure Remote Access' and allow VPN usage
c). Open server management and come to Client computer node
d). click the "Create Remote Connection disk" to launch the wizard
e). Finish the wizard to create the floppy
f). Run the setup.exe on the client computer from the floppy
g). The VPN connection will be created automatically which is optimized by
SBS 2k3 server.

In addition, once you install the Connection Manager package
(sbspackage.exe) created by the SBS Remote Access Wizard, you do not have
the option to modify the predefined settings within Network Connections at
the client.

2. If you are using a hardware router/firewall, configure it to forward
port 1723 and protocol 47 (GRE or PPTP pass-through) onto the SBS server.
Check the manufacturer's documentation for details on how to allow VPN
traffic to pass through the device.

3. Put the laptop in the LAN, establish the VPN again, can that work?

4. Connect the laptop directly to the external NIC of the SBS server, try
to establish the VPN connection and see if it can get successed.

5. Does this issue happen on other clients? Please test both internal
clients and external clients.

6. Are there any event logs on the SBS server related to this issue?

If you encounter any difficulties or have any concerns, feel free to let me
know. I look forward to your update.

Best regards,

Jerry Zhao (MSFT)
