Resolve

Check memory, restart Routing and Remote Access service, check TCP/IP settings, or reinstall RIP

Possible resolutions:

  • This computer might be low on memory. For more information, see the "Check memory usage on the server" section.
  • Stop and restart the Routing and Remote Access service. For more information, see the "Restart the remote access service" section.
  • Check TCP/IP settings. Use the netstat -a command to show the status of all activity on TCP and UDP ports on the local computer.
  • Remove and reinstall RIP. For more information, see the "Remove and reinstall RIP" section.

To perform these procedures, you must be a member of the Administrators group, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

Check memory usage on the server

To check memory usage on the remote access server:

  1. On the remote access server, click Start, click Run, type taskmgr, and then click OK.
  2. In the Windows Task Manager dialog box, click the Performance tab.
  3. Under Physical Memory, check the remote access server's memory usage.
  4. If necessary, free up available memory by ending non-essential applications or processes.

Restart the remote access service

To restart the remote access service:

  8. Modify the settings in the RIP properties dialog box, and then click OK.

Verify

To perform this procedure, you must have membership in Administrators, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

To verify that the Routing Table Manager (RTM) route has been added:

  • Stop and restart the Routing and Remote Access service.
    1. Click Start, click Run, type rrasmgmt.msc, and then press ENTER.
    2. Open Routing and Remote Access.
    3. In the console tree, click Server Status.
    4. In the details pane, right-click a server name, point to All Tasks, and click Restart.
