NAT/Basic Firewall missing from RRAS console

Hello,

I guess when I originally configured RRAS on this server and did the custom

RRAS? Or is there another way to manage my ports perhaps?

Thx,

Yep - I found it in one of those articles. If that site is yours I would like to thank for the help you've provided me over the past couple of years.

I didn't realize I could add routing protocols to RRAS after the initial installation.

Thx Again!
