my sbs2003 has two ips? PPP adapter RAS Server (Dial In) Interface?
i have a sbs 2003 domain. my server's static ip is 10.4.1.2
i have a printer that has 10.4.1.113
i noticed the printer was not working. when i ping 10.4.1.113 from any computer, it goes to the server.
ipconfig on the server returns the following:
what is the PPP adapter Ras Server (dial in) interface...what is it, can i disable it?
i don't want to have to change the printer ip, just want to change this one. what is the purpose of it and where can i configure it?

The PPP is your adapter for VPN.
If you use VPN you should not disable it.
If you restart RAS it will change the IP Automatically.
Why you do not want to change the printer IP anyway?

i changed the printer address, because i couldn't figure out how to change the ip. am curious why it all of a sudden picked it up. i rebooted the server a few times before this quesiton, hoping the ip would change but didn't. i was hoping i could just fix the issue and save myself from having to change the printer on 20 computers with multiple users, having to get their passwords, etc.
restarting RAS should do the trick?

can you manually set the ip for the PPP adapter?

If you are running ISA server (SBS premium) I would not recommend this.
If you want to keep the VPN service you can change the static address pool (the IP range assigned to the server and clients by RRAS) by going to the RRAS console, right click on the server name, choose properties, under the IP tab change the static IP range as per step 10 and following in the following link:
