RAS will not run.


My BackOffice Small Business Server (BOSBS) has been running great for 4
months now. Last week I added six more users and now RAS and anything
related to the modem is not working.

If I click on Dial-up Networking or Dial-up Networking Monitor my mouse
turns to an hour glass wait symbol, the HDD starts working and then a few
minutes later the mouse goes back to normal and nothing happens. If a user
tries to proxy out to the Internet they get nothing, ever; because it can't
connect because the dial-up is not working. If I go to Control Panel |
Internet | Connection to try to change the connection type the Internet |
Connection box freezes on the screen, no other running apps are affected but
the Internet | Connection box is dead, it can't be closed, moved, nothing.
And if I look at the Task Manager there is nothing listed and the computer
looks great, lost of RAM and CPU idle is about 92%.

Below is the system I am running.

I was about to uninstall RAS and re-install it to see if that fixes it but
thought I should post a question first. Some people have helped me with this
already but for those that have not seen this posting before I have resent
it.
