To configure RRAS, please disable IC and try again.

[Brian Cryer]

I'm having an issue with a Windows 2003 Standard server. What I'm trying to
do is enable routing and remote access.

I have Routing and Remote Access open. My server is listed, and if I right
click it and select "Configure and Enable Routing and Remote Access" I get a
message box titled "Routing and Remote Access" saying:

IC (Incoming Connections) is currently enabled on KSERV. To configure
RRAS, please disable IC and try again.

KSERV being the name of this server. Any idea what this means and what I
have to do to disable IC? I've tried disabling all the network adapters and
various services (VNC etc) but I think I'm barking up the wrong tree.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

thanks in advance,

Brian.

Hi Brian,

I'm by no means an expert on the topic of RRAS, but since no one has reponded to your posting thus far then I'll try to do my best to assist you. I found another
customer case that was experiencing the same behavior on Windows Server 2003.

They resolved it using the following steps.
1. Go into Network Connections and delete "Incoming Connections".
2. Configure RRAS, then configure Routing and Remote Access System to received "Incomning Connections".
