RRAS VPN Configuration problem

I have configured a W2K server as a VPN server to receive client connections over the internet. All is setup correctly except that my "internal" interface shows "not available". This is under IP routing/General in the menu structure. I have configured the IP addresses as a static pool, but this internal interface is not being setup with an IP address. I have set these things up many times, but I have never encountered this. Any help would be appreciated. I do have all of the latest SP's, etc. Thanks.

The internal interface does not acquire an IP address until the first user
connects. It then gets an IP address from the pool to act as the server end
of the VPN connection.

Thanks. I think another problem is figuring out how to enable or pass Protocol 47 (GRE) on an Ascend Pipeline 50 ISDN router. Any ideas? I looked everywhere in the router configuration and could not find it.

Sorry, no idea about an Ascend Pipeline. But PPTP will certainly fail if
GRE is blocked. The data comes in (and out) inside a packet with a GRE
header.
