VPN not connecting ISA broken?

Hi All,

Scenario
Just got handed a set of SBS 2000 cds and a box and told 'build' whicj I
dutifully did.
All went well until I went to setup VPN. The router is all configured OK
with 1723 and 47 etc but still can't connect. Other services are getting
through fine.

I have 2 NICS. When I try and run RRAS and say 'make me a VPN server' it
kills the LAN but with it set as a LAN, VPN can't get in. I have set the LAN
NIC as the entry point in RRAS but this is where it gets weird.

Normally one would configure VPN through ISA server but there IS NO ISA
server to be found on the server. Nothing under Programs etc. Ther is a
reference in the Server admin console but when I click on it throws up an
error indicating that the Snap in can't be found, won't load etc.

So questions are:
Is ISA supposed to be installed as part of SBS 2000 and if so how can I go
about doing this after the fact?

Can I get the VPN to work anyway without bothering with ISA? ie. manual
config of RRAS and NICS

I have read heaps of stuff on the net including some posts that say use RRAS
and others that say turn it off to get VPN to work???

Thanks in advance

Billy

Hi Billy,

Yes, ISA 2000 is a part of a standard SBS 2000 installation. I would either
put CD1 back in or go to Add/Remove Programs and click on Microsoft Small
Business Server 2000 to run the setup wizard again. On the Component
Selection screen, you should see a 'Component Name' for Internet Security
and Acceleration Server and, in the 'Action' column, you should be able to
click its associated 'down arrow' to select "Reinstall".

Thanks Merv. Wasn't quite sure of my way around. Trying that now.
