Problem with autodial in Windows Server 2003

[Guest]

Hi all...

I have a Windows Server 2003 machine connected to Internet. It shares the
connection with LAN conputers.

I want that when any computer in the LAN tries to connect to Internet,
Windows Server 2003 automatically to dial its default connection.

I went to Advanced Options in Network connections because I think that I
want to enable autodial in that place. At first, a dialog to specify dialing
location is shown. In that dialog, the combobox that is supposed to list
locations is empty, so I cannot complete that dialog.

The question is: I have to enable autodial the way I'm trying? if I have to
do so, why Locations combobox doesn't show anything?

Thanks a lot in advance
Jaime

If you want the windows 2003 server to be a router for all your computer
using a dial up connection you could setup RRAS

I tried to configure RRAS but it was impossible so I had to stay with
ICS/ICF.

The fact is that I have a DSL router. It isn't a dial up connection. I have
to create a broadband connection in Network Connections in order to connect.
The only problem is that I have to log onto the server in order to keep
connected. when I logoff, connection is closed.

I have configured Windows Server 2003 to autoconnect before and it worked. I
think all problems start happening after I installed SP1. I have uninstalled
it already, but some strange things happened to the server, for example,
when I go to enable autodial, Location combobox appears empty, instead of
appearing the list of countries. Do you know why? maybe it will be necessary
and re-installation of the server :-(
