I have a user in LA and a server in NY. Both on DSL with a hardware VPN. I can ping. I can map drives. Iwant the Windows 98 machine in LA to authenticate on the server in NY. When the user tries to logon they get a message that the sever is unavailable. Yet when I look in the event log it shows when they logged on and logged off. Is their something that I missed. I need to implement a users logon scripts. Thanks

Make sure your routers (or hardware VPN devices) are set up to allow routing/passing of CHAP packets, or better yet, MS-CHAP packets. You may also need to enable RADIUS on your server in NY, so it will accept the MS-CHAP (CHAP) authentication packets from your client in LA, and authenticate the user to the local domain/server.

Good luck.

Chuck you version of the Dial Up Networking (DUN) and if necessary upgrade it. It is a simple procedure.

Next, go to Network, and select the NY server and try to login to it. Look at the speed of the login (there is a lot of data trasfered briefly) with a packet trace.

If the servers are not in the same domain, make sure the LA workstation has a machine account in the NY domain, and is not a member of the LA Domain.

Hope this helps

Since that question is so old, and you rejected all those answers, why don't you just close your question?
