The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Windows 2000 VPN Server Setup

Asked by hbrady in Windows NT Networking

Tags: vpn, 2000, windows

Here is the situation:

I have a test lab with two Windows 2000 servers, one Exchange 2000 server. The domain is in native mode and everything works well.

One of the servers is multi-homed with two NIC?s.

Internal 192.168.2.25 Mask 255.255.255.0 no gateway.

External 63.205.208.172 (example, not real address). Mask 255.255.255.240 GW 63.205.208.161

This external NIC is connected to the Internet through our firewall and the firewall has the following ports open for this server:
tcp 139
tcp 1723
udp 137
udp 138
udp 500
udp 1701

I want to set up the server to be a VPN box so people can connect over the Internet and use Outlook to connect to the Exchange server in the test lab.

Here is what I do:
Open RRAS in my MMC
Right click my server and say configure and enable Routing and Remote Access.
In the wizard I choose VPN server.
I choose TCP/IP
I choose the external interface when asked to specify the Internet connection
I choose ?From a range of addresses? and enter a range of 192.168.2.50 ? 192.168.2.70
No to RADIUS
Finish.

Once it starts I try to connect from a client (on the Internet) and I get connecting, connected and then it hangs on Verifying Username and Password. Eventually I get error 721 the remote computer is not responding. I also notice at this point I cannot ping out to the Internet from the server. I get ?Destination Host Unreachable? for any Internet address outside of my LAN. I also cannot ping my VPN server from the Internet. If I kill RRAS I can ping fine.

I tried to go to static routes under RRAS tool and added 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0.0 GW 63.205.208.161 to the External interface. I get the same errors.

What am I missing here?
