Solved Sever 2008 multiple IP address issues--Please help

You probably only need a static IP on the server & port forwarding on the router. What error are you getting after you installed RRAS? How do you know when a politician is lying? His mouth is moving.

Thanks for guapo, but I do not have any error regarding the RRAS; the VPN seems to work fine, however, I can't remote desktop anymore from my client computer. I did set up a static IP on the network adapter, but on the router it shows multiple IP which is probably causing the remote desktop issue. Well, here is the remote desktop error: Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons: 1) Remote access to the server is not enabled 2) The remote computer is turned off 3) The remote computer is not available on the network

If RRAS is enaged its giving out ips for the vpn access. I suspect this is what your router is logging. It's of no concern. It is unclear from your post if you are RDPing in locally or via the internet. I suspect locally since you don't mention port forwarding. Are you rdping to the static ip of the server wan port or the static ip of the servers lan port? Answers are only as good as the information you provide.

@Wanderer Thanks for replying, I set the static IP of 192.168.0.200 for my server, but when I try to remote desktop it within lan, I get the above error. I try to ping it, it doesn't work either. Everything worked until I installed Routing and Remote access.

both the wan and lan on the server should be static ips. you should try the lan ip when accessing via the lan. Answers are only as good as the information you provide. How to properly post a question: Sorry no tech support via PM's

@wanderer I am using the static lan IP, still getting the above error and can't even ping the server using static IP as well.

✔ Best Answer

can't ping means the firewall is blocking icmp. configure it not to do so. bring up mmc add the remote desktop for the server use the static ip of the lan confirm the rdp service is running on the server connect. what is the error?
