Why they are trying to use RAS? It is simler to publish the exchange through a firewall and gain mail via IMAP or POP3. -----Original Message----- From: Technical Support [mailto:tech@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, January 20, 2003 3:43 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Slightly Off Topic - Exchange 2000 Windows 2000 and RAS http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hi All If any one can solve this I will buy them a drink. I have a customer running: Windows 2000 (PDC) with Exchange 2000 on the same box. They are trying to setup RAS so remote users can connect and pick up email.(On the same box) Problem: Every time I enable RAS on the server the local users are unable to logon. The error is "can not find domain controller" Stop the ras service all works again. I think it is a routing issue but I have installed RAS and set the routing and IP forwarding to off. Any ideas will save me grey hair. Many thanks for any help.
