www.BlackViper.com: Windows Vista Services 411 - Routing and Remote Access

Routing and Remote Access

Default Description:

Offers routing services to businesses in local area and wide area network environments.

Additional Information:

Allows computers to dial in to the local computer through a modem (or other devices) to access the local network using a standard or VPN connection.

If you use an external hardware firewall/gateway/router between your computer and the internet, do not use IPsec (VPN tunneling, etc) and Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), then this service and the following group of services can be disabled:

• Base Filtering Engine
• IKE and AuthIPsec Keying Modules
• Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
• IPsec Policy Agent
• Routing and Remote Access
• Windows Firewall

I highly recommend that you do not disable the Windows Firewall, but the services listed above are all involved with each other.
