I'm setting up a VPN on NT4.0 SP6, the install went well and I was able to get a test machine up and running last month. I've tried to set it up again using a different ISP, but now I'm having an error during the 'client' log in.

It seems to hang on 'Registering your computer on the network', then I get an error: 'TCP/IP reported error 718:Timed out watinf for a valid response from the remote PPP peer'.
The client machine shows up in Server Manager.

Any ideas where to look.

Thanks,

John.. :)

Yes, I think. Inside Remote Access Administrator, I have granted permission to the user that I'm trying to log in with. Where else do I 'setup authentication'?

Thanks for the help..

Its been a couple of years since I've set up a VPN but if I'm not mistaken you create a seperate DUN for the VPN and in the sercurities properties of that I beleive there is another place to set authentication. Hope this helps and I appologise if I'm off on the details.

Thanks for the effort. It's true, your must make a new DUN entry, but there is nowhere to address Authentication. It's very strange, during the login process, I see it get by the Authentication part, it just hang while registering itself.

Do you get any messages in the Event Viewer on the server that you are dialing into? Also, how do you have your TCP/IP settings in RAS and in the properties of the dial-up network?

1. Yes, I do see entries in Event Viewer. It shows that I have successfully logged into the Server on VPN1. Then there?s another entry when I log off.
2. In Remote Access Admin: I have granted permission to all users.
3. In Network Properties, Server Tab, Remote Access Server settings: I have 4 VPN channels, Recv. Only, allow Access to Entire Network, Use Static IP Pool (5 IP Address, 192.168.0.200 - 192.168.0.206), allow remote client predetermined IP is checked.
4. DUN properties, ServerTypes, TCP/IP Settings, Specific IP Address (192.168.0.206), Server Assigned Name Address Sever, Use IP Header Compression & Use default Gateway of Remote are Checked.

Note: At Startup I log into the client machine with the same User Name and Password that I use while attempting to log into the VPN Server.

What else is there? Did I miss anything? Thanks for the help. :)
