After reinstalling Windows NT 4.0 Server because of a crashed harddisk, I can not connect to the internet. I get an error message: 718 timeout waiting for PPP.
I searched the MS Knowlegde base and tried their preposed solutions and I've tried 3 different modems.
I also have another NT 4.0 Server and that one works just fine. I checked the settings and they are the same. Still I can't find a solution for this
Can anyone shed some light on this matter??
Thanx
William

Reinstall the Sevice Pack and make sure that you are accepting all authentication including clear text under the security tab in the DUN properties. Hope this helps.
