I would replace your RRAS gateway with a more reliable device such as a
router. RRAS works fine if you are only supporting 2 to 5 nodes, but more
traffic than that can quickly overwhelm it. A dedicated router would be able
to keep up with the demands a lot more reliably, and would free up that
Win2K server box for other tasks such as being a domain controller or a VPN
server. How many nodes are you trying to support, and how big of an uplink
do you use?
