RRAS and Internet connectivity problem

[Engin Ören]

I'm using win2k3 as RRAS & VPN server. There are two NICs one with external
and other with internal IP. When i start the RRAS service, the server loses
it's connection to the internet. Inbound connections are still working fine
without problem, but i cannot browse anywhere. When i stop the service the
connection comes back. What am i doing wrong ? How can i use two functions
together ?

thanx for help

From the RRAS console, check that there are no packet filters on your
external NIC. Under some circumstances, the setup wizard will set filters to
block all traffic except VPN related packets.

Make sure that you only have one gateway...

example Nic1 192.168.1.1
255.255.255.0
no gateway

Nic2 63.63.63.63
255.255.255.248
63.63.63.64

check your routing table and make sure that the default gateway is set to
Nic2, also make sure that your binding is correct in your advanced network
settings, making sure that Nic1 is at the top.
