| Problems Installing RASPPPOE in W2K Adv Server I am having problems Installing RASPPPOE v098B on My Windows 200 Advanced Server System. The system had 2 NIC's (3COM and SMC, it acts as a router among other things) I am using the SMC NIC to connect to the DSL modem.
When attempting to install I first of all get a problem where my Network protocol list is empty after the RASPPPOE install. After a reboot the protocol list is back with RASPPPOE and no others enabled.
If I try to run RASPPPOE.exe it reports that it 'Could not find any dial-up devices...'
If I check the WAN Miniport (PPP over Ethernet Protocol) Device in the Device manager it is disabled. If I try to enable it then the OS gets stuck in an endless loop reporting that the driver installation failed due to a missing file.
I know that the Modem and the cat5 cable are functioning correctly as I have successfully installed RASPPPOE on my Windows 2000 Professional system.
Has anybody come across this problem before?
Is it possible to install RASPPPOE on a Windows 2000 server system?

|
| Hi Bob,
You are everywhere!
I have tried physically removing the network card and re-installing and I still have the same problem.
The WAN Miniport (PPP over Ethernet Protocol) Device is disabled, and if I try to enable it the W2k Hardware Manager reports that it cannot find the file specified....
any ideas??

New York, NY | After uninstalling the card you need to reinstall RASPPPoE, not just enable the device. |

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the prompt Feedback to my questions.
After several re-installs of RASPPPoE I gave up and obtained a copy of WinPoet which then seemed to suffer from similar problems.
After many frustrating hours I decided to cut my losses and Installed a clean copy of W2K advanced server on a spare Hard Disk and I now have RASPPPOE working, yay 
I now have to try and configure my system to share the connection on my network.
Previously with my cable modem I used NAT to route all the TCP/IP traffic to the cable modem.
Will I be able to do this with RASPPPOE? I have read a few posts on using ICS but I would like to have the control provided by W2K's NAT routing interfaces.

New York, NY | Sharing works just fine with PPPoE. I have instructions for all of that at my site where you posted this question originally. |
|
| Do you really? I could only find an article on ICS on Windows 2000 Professional systems. I could not find anything on setting up routing with NAT on Windows 2000 servers.
Could you give me the link to the said article.

| Hi everybody!
I have tried installing raspppoe on 3 different Windows 2000 Advanced Server installations and I have gotten the same error message:
"Could not install requested components. Error is 0x800700C1"
The last install was fresh with one NIC. I tried with both SP4 and without SP4.
Any recommendations?
Thanx.
