Can't Enable RRAS in Windows Server 2003 Std SP1

Dear All,

I wonder why I can't do enabling routing and remote access service in a
server running Windows 2003 Std SP1 because everytime I try to, a dialog
box pops up saying that ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) is enable on
this computer. I have done to stop and disable Windows Firewall/ICS
service through the service console.

What seems to be the problem? Is it related to Incoming Connections that
exists that I can't remove (reappear although I deleted it)?

Any kind of assistances is appreciated very much.

Thanks

Gunawan

Yes. Incoming connections interface is the reason. You should delete it
permanently (and stop Remote A�cess Connection Manager and Remote A�cess
Auto Connection Manager services).

Thanks Nick, but I can't delete that Incoming Connection because
whenever I do it, RRAS service become disabled and if I re-enable the
RRAS again then the Incoming Connection come up again.

Really no idea why is it so?
