After installing RRAS now I can't see my computers in my network places or ping by name only Ip address. Please Help
windows 2003 Server
Domain controller
How about your dns config? do you have the server listed with a host and ptr record? In the forwarders tab you have listed your isp's dns server(s)? Your workstations are pointed to the server and NOT the isp's dns?

dhcp coming from the server or the router? If router that is wrong as it will have the wrong dns server entries [your isp not your dns server. Do dhcp from your server.
put your isps dns servers ip addresses in the forwarders tab of dns server as per proper Ms config guidelines.
I don't believe this to be a rras issue as much as a dns config issue. Lets get dns properly configured first.

Yes, Dhcp is coming from my Router
I will put my Isps dns servers in my DNS forwarders tab.
Are you saying I should be running DHCP from My Server and not my router
Thank you.

MS dns works like this. The workstations make a request for google.com. This request is sent to the local dns server. It doesn't have the answer so it looks at the forwarders tab to know where to send the request to be reconciled. It then sends it to the isp's dns servers which in turn may resolve it or forward the request to a root server. The resolution does the reverse course back.
It is also important to note that MS dhcp DYNAMICALLY updates your dns server with your workstations with host records. This makes internal name resolution work quickly.
This is all covered at MS's web site/technet/dns configuration.
So yes, turn off dhcp on the router. Have the server do it. Have the server dhcp set the gateway, dns and ip address for the workstations and I will bet rras will be happy also.
If not, there's hundreds of folks here, so the answer is amoung us. :-)

Hi
Just a thought. When you say that the dhcp is coming from the router do you mean that it is assigning IPs from a static pool or that you have a Relay agent configured to your DHCP server?
