RAS ports

[Dave Gleason]

Setup RAS on a windows 2003 server.
The server is behind a firewall.
What ports do I need to open on the firewall?

Do you mean RAS as in dial in or do you really mean VPN? For dial in access
you wouldn't need to open ports since you would be dialing into an interface
not firewalled. If you mean VPN then you need:

For PPTP - TCP port 1723 and IP Protocol 47 (GRE)
For L2TP - UDP 1701 and 500
