RIP Listeners on Windows 2000 SERVER

Hi,

I have just installed RIP on a network with 5 subnets. It works well. However, I'm completely unclear about RIP Listeners on Win 2k SERVERS.

All the machines are Win2k PRO (SP4+), XP PRO (SP1) or Win2k SERVER (SP4+). There are NO windows 95/98/ME or NT machines.

I've installed RIP Listeners on all WinXP and Win 2k PRO, but the same option is not available on Win 2k SERVERS.

I don't understand why win2k SERVER is different to the PRO version, or how I can get RIP running on the SERVERS.

Could some one help me with the following:

1.  Why is RIP Listener not available for installation on Win2k Server ?
2.  Do I need it installed on Win2k Servers ?
3.  Does this mean I need to use RRAS on all the WIn 2k SERVERS
4.  How do I make sure that RIP is running on Win 2k SERVERS.
5.  Why am I confused !

Thanks .

James
