Routing & Remote Access Error

[Frank Reichenbacher]

On one of our workstations I am trying to set it up to accept incoming
connections but I receive an error message in the new connection wizard. I
succeeded in this on my own workstation.

The error suggests that Routing and Remote Access service is not enabled.
The event log in Computer Management indicates error 1068, the service can't
be started. [I had to vacate the workstation when the user came in before I
had a chance to take notes.] Trying to start the service in Computer
Management produces the same error. Both XP Pro SP1 workstations have had
the July anti-msblast RPC patch applied and neither was infected. Both are
operating under the same group policy.

Attempting to start the service through Computer Management produces the
following system log error message:

"Routing and Remote Access service terminated with service specific error
1068"

I just noticed the error log indicates this error has Event ID 7024.

Is the RAS connection manager running?

Connection manager is running. I found some hints online (not microsoft.com)
that suggested the issue would resolve by setting RAS Manager and RAS Auto
Manager to Manual, but that did not work.

If it fails to start with error code 5, re-apply Service Pack 1 to the
machine.

The error code is 1068, Event ID 7024.

Wait a minute, I just went to the machine and did it again. I don't know how
I could've missed it, but the first logged event is actually Event 20103,
Unable to load ipxrtmgr.dll, with no error code. Why would this TCP/IP
service need an IPX route manager?

I'll go online and see if I can turn up something for this event. If you
have any ideas...?

This will NOT undo the MSBLASTER RPC patch.

That is one that I've never seen, however, it rings a bell from the googling
I did on your error when I wrote the response:

One hit--I think at eventid.net--suggested that adding an additional
protocol, IPX, would resolve the 7024 error. This seemed so off the wall
(since I always run pure TCP/IP) that I didn't even think of posting it.

It also stated that you should change the "number"--sorry, I can't recall my
IPX terminology correctly--from 0000000 to something else if you have
multiple network interfaces.

This seems pretty strange, but I guess it won't hurt much to try it out and
see what happens.

You and I both know that IPX should in no way be required for all this to
work, though!

I cannot get an incoming VPN connection set up (the new connection
wizard either hangs or tells me that the routing and remote access
service cannot be started). If I try to start the RRAS manually, I get
service-specific error 340. The remote access connection and remote
access auto connection services are running.

Can anyone help?
