I'm trying to set up a VPN server I have a Win 2k server with win 2k clients My internet connection is via an external router All PC's use static IP's I have static IP from my ISP My server is a DC and DHCP is not enabled I have 2 NIC's in my server All pc's are in 10.0.0.x 255.0.0.0 range Whenever I enable RAS, all my internal lan connections fail What am I doing wrong? Do i need 2 NIC's in this setup or will 1 suffice? Thanks

You must change one of them.
Putting RRAS on a DC makes the DC multi-homed by definition 272294 - Active Directory Communication Fails on Multihomed Domain Controllers http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;272294 Forget RRAS. Replace the firewall with one that can perform Remote Access VPN on its own.
