Addition of New LAN Interface in RRAS Causes Event Message (Windows NT)
Category: Home > Windows > Troubleshooting

When you install an additional network interface card (NIC) and the Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) is already installed, you receive an error 20101 in the System Log in Event Viewer.

This event will be logged every time RRAS starts yet does not prevent RRAS from starting properly, nor does it cause any loss of functionality within RRAS.

For each value of (x) in the key below, verify the value of 'Enabled' is equal to '1' or '0', the default is '1' Enabled.


(Default)	REG_SZ	(value not set)
Enabled	REG_DWORD	0x00000001 (1)


	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Router\Interfaces\(x)

Settings:

System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Router\Interfaces\
(x)]
Name: Enabled
Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value: (0 = false, 1 = true)
