Administering an ISP Installation

Internet Connection Services for Remote Access

The components that previously made up Internet Connection Services for remote access are now components of Windows 2000 Server. They are no longer referred to as Internet Connection Services for remote access, but by their individual component names:

Connection Manager Administration Kit
Connection Point Services
Internet Authentication Services

These connection components are designed to help corporations and ISPs build comprehensive Internet-access solutions, including dial-up VPNs. Whether you are building an Internet service or managing a corporate network, these connection components help you quickly set up, customize, and manage a remote-access network. You can give your subscribers a seamless connection to the Internet, a global dial-up service, as well as secure connections over the Internet to a private network.

Whether you’re an ISP or a corporate network administrator, the steps for installing these components are the same. If you installed Internet Connection Services for remote access as part of IIS 4.0, you can upgrade to the latest versions of the individual components through Windows Setup.

To install the three components during Windows Setup

On the Windows Optional Components screen, click Networking Options, and then click Details.
Select the check box for the component you want to install.

If you have already installed Windows, you can install the components by using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.

To add the components after installing Windows

Click Start, point to Settings, and then point to Control Panel.
Click Add/Remove Programs.

For details about how to use these connection components, see the Windows 2000 Server online product documentation.
