HELP!!!

after trying to setup routing and remote access it gets to
the end of the wizard and gets the following error:

an error occured wilst trying to start the RRAS service on
(computername)


these enteries are in the event log

1. The Routing and Remote Access service terminated with
service-specific error 2.

2. Unable to load C:\WINNT\System32\iprtrmgr.dll.

i have checked this file it does exist and i even tried
coping it from another machine.)

still doesnt work

any ideas anyone?
 
Check if the following key exist
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\RemoteAccess\RouterManagers\IP
and it has this entry
1) DllPath
REG_EXPAND_SZ
%SystemRoot%\System32\Iprtrmgr.dll

Verify if the path of the Iprtrmgr.dll in your machine is the same.

Ensure that "Remote Registry Service" is running.
 
I have checked this, the paths are the same all the
registry enteries are the same, but still i can't start
the service.

any other ideas would be a great help?

thanks

Can you enable tracing on the server, start 'Routing and Remote Access'
service and send iproutermanager.log?

For enabling tracing, you can use the following command: C:\>netsh ras set
tracing * enable

The log files will be created under %windir%\tracing

you can disable tracing using the following command: C:\>netsh ras set
tracing * disable
 
Also check whether the file 'wararp.sys' exists under
%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\wanarp.sys
 
Still i have tried all of these solutions but i still
cannot get the RRAS service to start.

i did start the tracing, what will this do though?

any other idea's would be appriciated.

regards
