This is driving me nuts. I've been playing around with VPN on 2003 server and this has me stumped. Everytime I enable VPN on the server I lose internet connectivity. I know it has something to do with the routing or something along that line but dont know where to go with it. I currently have Linksys router that everything is connected to. The server is hard wired to the router and the server only has the one NIC. Anyone have a quick fix? |

What do you mean "VPN"? Do you mean when you start Routing and Remote Services it dies? Or do you mean if you dial and establish a PPTP connection it dies? IF the former, then there's something broken in Routing and Remote Access configuration, and i don't know off of the top of my head what exactly could cause that. If it's the latter, make sure you uncheck the "use default gateway" box under advanced TCP/IP properties for that connection. |
Sorry I should have been more clear. When I start Routing and Remote Access I cannot browse the internet from the server. I can connect to the server from another machine but once again I get no internet connection their either. My main concern right now is now internet on the server. I think one will solve the other. |

Is you computer the DNS or is the router serving DNS? Most times to get a VPN in, you have to have the router set not to be a DNS. Go to the MS website and search 'setting up VPN'. There are tons of articles for every problem that could remotely (no pun intended) happen. ETA: get a second NIC card! |
I'll go back and install again. I installed with NAT this time and the internet works but I dont have access to local resources. I'm wondering if things would be easier on the internal side if I setup a domain instead of workgroup. I dont really want to do that because this is a demo copy of server. One day when I get rish I will buy a copy |

Thanks for the help thus far guys. Between installing NAT and unchecking the box that Erik spoke of I now have internet on the server and internet on the client when I connect. Now I just need to figure out how to get access to the files in the shared folders also located on the same server that remote access is running on. |
I have a full retail version of SBS 2003 Premium w / SQL Server and 5 CALS I need to sell. Make me an offer. It's on Ebay right now...but I'd rather a gun head got it! ETA: New in Box |
To be honest I'm not even sure what something like that is selling for. I will have to do some digging around. Would you mind shooting me a pm with an idea of what you are looking for? |

Just a bit of an update. I am able to see the server when I look at all workgroup computers but when I try to access the server I get a message saying \\srv### is unavailable. You may not have permission to use this network resource...... My login and password on my local machine and the server are the same but I know that shouldnt make a difference. |
You need to set permissions in Active Directory. The Server Configuration screen is really handy in setting up all the parameters. Gotta go to bed. I just sent you an IM. Good night. |
If this server isnt part of a domain would active directory be installed? |
|
Sorry, I didnt catch that. I will see if I can get that setup. Can that be setup in a workgroup environment. |
