If you need to configure Routing and Remote Access services in Windows Server 2003 yourself, you can do so. This configuration is necessary so that authenticated users can be allowed to remotely connect to all internal network resources. Windows Server 2003 routing settings are set automatically. But there are situations when this service is disabled and you need to re-configure routing. You can do this yourself. The process is quite lengthy and requires attention, but if you follow these instructions, you can easily do it yourself.
