Connecting XP Prof to Dial in NT Server

[dweeler]

My boss just got a new laptop. On his old laptop (Windows 2000) he was able to be at his house, and dial into the server, and connect to it to see the drives then appear in "My Computer". He just got a new laptop (XP Pro SP2), and I tried making a dial up connection that dials into the same number, and uses the same user name and password. I keep getting this error:

I made sure in the network settings that Negotiate multi-link for single-link connections was unchecked, I even checked it once, and still got the same error. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks

By the way, the server we are trying to connect to is running NT SP6

A couple of Google searches revealed the following:

I think that this should address your issue (probably a TCP/IP configuration or corruption problem).
