I don't know the exact problem but check that the lan nic is at the top of
the priority list in network connections advanced/advanced settings, look in
Event Viewer for any pertinent errors, and if you feel confident you can
reconfigure rras then disable it and then renable it. You may also want to
post in the win2000.ras_routing newsgroup. --- Steve
