Guest Frank Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Hi, When I try to get to the Firewall settings on my Server 2003 system, I always get the following message... "Windows Firewall cannot run because another program or service is running that might use the network address translation component (Ipnat.sys)" Any ideas what this could be? Thanks! Frank
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Re: Server 2003 Firewall Hello Frank, Do you have RRAS enabled on the server and use it with more then one NIC to connect different networks over the server?

Guest Frank Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Re: Server 2003 Firewall Hi Meinolf, Is RRAS in the Services window? I do have two different IPs on the server. One Static, and one not. I think the Firewall is either not installed or not enabled, after doing some more searching. The main problem I'm having, is getting my server to be shown on my network. It accesses the internet fine, but it's not visible to my other computers. It's on a domain, and the option to assign it to a workgroup is grayed-out.

Guest Frank Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Re: Server 2003 Firewall All is Enabled in RRA. I'm able to use Remote Desktop from another computer to access the server, and I'm able to Login using Logmein.com. The server can just not be seen on the local network. Thanks!

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Re: Server 2003 Firewall Hello Frank, Your "Windows Firewall cannot run because another program or service is running that might use the network address translation component (Ipnat.sys)" message belongs to the running RRAS and using NAT over the 2 NIC's. If you not use RRAS disable it or you have to use a hardware firewall. See the last entry from Miles Li: http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs&tid=592dd9dd-332d-403b-be67-589a64015f05&cat=&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=&p=1 Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. ** Please do NOT email, only reply to Newsgroups ** HELP us help YOU!!! http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm > All is Enabled in RRA. > > I'm able to use Remote Desktop from another computer to access the > server, and I'm able to Login using Logmein.com.
