After upgrading NT to Win2000, one of my dial-up connections doesn't work anymore. On the dial-up dialog box, I get:

"Verifying user name and password...
Registering your computer on the network...
Checking network protocol connections...
TCP/IP reported error 718: THe connection timed out waiting for a valid response from the remote computer.
"
The error seems to come after some timeout.

RAS error code list on MS KnowledgeBase article Q163111 mentions:
718 PPP timeout.

some possibilities?:

any solutions welcome.

That is a possibility. Actually the problem was solved when my ISP told me to disable multilink for single-link connections. Go to connection properties -> Networking -> Type of dial-up server ->
Settings ... and there is the check box.
