Have set up several succesful VPN connetions for clients but this one has me stumped. NT 4 RAS server is also PDC and WINs server. It authenticates both win98 and 2000-wks dun user name and password and allows a vpn connection, however the second domain logon screen fails with "no domain server was available to validate your password...etc." The vpn remains connected but I cannot ping the ras server or the wins server nor can I map a drive using ip address nor netbios name. Thought it mightbe a gateway problem. Have tried adding various routes and gateway changes but no luck. Anyone seen this before? Would appreciate any suggestions

Is this PDC that you talking about, the one that you are trying to connect to the network via VPN?

If it is then you will need a trusted connection form that PDC to the PDC on the Domain that you are connecting to
