Windows 2000 Server includes technologies that improve networking capabilities, provide greater control over bandwidth utilization, and support a new generation of communications solutions with enhanced remote access and Internet support.

Windows 2000 Server enhances networking capabilities by providing multi-protocol routing services, and support for high-speed communication. Networking enhancements in Windows 2000 Server include:

Windows 2000 Server enhances remote access by simplifying the administration of remote connections, while reducing the support costs and improving security. Remote access enhancements in Windows 2000 Server include:
A remote access policy is associated with a profile, and specifies a set of conditions that are compared with an incoming connection. A profile is used to configure network connection parameters, such as the authentication method, the amount of time a connection can be idle, and the maximum length of a session. When an incoming connection matches the conditions specified in a policy, the profile settings are applied to the connection.
Connection Manager also works in conjunction with Connection Point Services to automate the process of updating phone book files that reside on client computers.

Windows 2000 Server provides improved Internet support with IIS. IIS makes it easy to share information, collaborate with others, manage files, and organize projects across an intranet or the Internet, by allowing information to be stored in a central location.
IIS is completely integrated with Active Directory, and integrates with other Windows 2000 technologies, such as Windows Clustering, the Kerberos v5 protocol, and Certificate Services, to provide a high level of manageability, scalability, security, and ease of use.
