RAS NIC Gateway

[Hellotalktome13]

If I do a /release /renew with RAS service running it does not assign
the gateway specified in TCP/IP settings.

With RAS service off it will assign the gateway correctly. And then
work fine when RAS service is restarted.

What setting am I missing so that it will tell the gateway for the NIC
correctly on ip renews??

If someone has called in and an IP has been assigned to a PPP adapter
then a /renew will take the gateway from the NIC and put it on the PPP
adapter and the NIC will no longer have a gateway address.

NT 4.0 is the OS should be the same in NT 5.0 Feels like the NIC is
not the primary adaptor or something when RAS is running.

Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about the RAS server or client when you said "If I do a /release /renew with RAS service running it does not assign the gateway specified in TCP/IP settings"?

I'm talking about the RAS server, The NIC of the server is the gateway
to the internet. With RAS service running a DHCP /renew will not
assign the gateway that's in tcp/ip setting to the NIC. With RAS off
it will.

try to use static IP instead of DHCP on the RAS server.

Static fixes it for me, since our DHCP does not assign a gateway.

Works fine now.
