windows 2000 Routing and Remote Access

Hi, thanks to all in advance.
We use windows 2000 server for our MS VPN.

For some reason only 9 users are able to log in at any given time.

Is that MS default or there are some settings that i cant find that control this?

Thanks,

TG Tran

Check the DHCP pool for the number of IP set aside for RRAS or the number of PPTP ports

DHCP is not a problem, its set for 50. There are 125 pptp ports.

The actual error message is

Cannon retrieve protocol information
error 668: The connection was terminated

TG Tran

Any errors in the server eventlog?

vburshte

ASKER

yes event id 20050

The user xxxxxxxx connected to port VPN4-118 has been disconnected because no network protocols were successfully negotiatated.

TG Tran

Any user? Namely, if userA was able to connect yesterday but not today because there are 9 users? or just one specific user?

vburshte

ASKER

nope. any 9 users log in and after that its over.

I was just talking to my manager and he said that the RAS server does not use the main DHCP server but it gets the IP's from the RAS itself.

is this right?

TG Tran

Yes, you can configure it to use DHCP or a particular IP range

vburshte

ASKER

where are the settings for that one?

TG Tran

Open RRAS
Select the server and right click - Properties
Select IP tab - there you will see the IP settings - whether or not DHCP or static pool is used

vburshte

ASKER

It is set for the DHCP
