New ways to do familiar tasks

The following table lists common tasks for configuring the remote access features of Routing and Remote Access. The user interface for performing these tasks is different in this version of Windows from the way it was in Windows NT version 4.0 or Windows NT version 4.0 with the Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS). The user interface for the Windows 2000 version of Routing and Remote Access differs slightly from that for the Windows Server 2003 family, but the steps for most common tasks have not changed.
