QUESTION POSED ON: 25 October 2005
My platform is Win 2003 Server Standard. I have a Windows 2003 Server set up with two NICs, a WAN and a LAN. The WAN connects to a PIX firewall and the LAN to a switch. The server itself connects to the Internet fine, but clients connected through the LAN switch do not have access. Am I missing a RRAS configuration?

If you are using your Windows Server to allow your clients to connect to the Internet, then you'll need to configure RRAS to function as a router to direct traffic between the LAN and the WAN.
