Win98 DUN to NT4.0 RAS Nightmare

[Duran]

Hi there, this is my first posting so I hope someone can help me.

I want my remote WIN98 clients to be able to connect to my office as if they are actually in the office.

I have done the following on the win98 laptops:

Done all critical updates, installed DUN 1.4 which I believe to be the new one for win98 and installed the VPN update. Installed the VPN adapter and created a VPN dial up to my firebox 2 IP Address.

On the server (NT sp6a) I have given my account dial in permission both in User manager for domains and in RAS and created 1 VPN in RAS.

I begin by dialing up the internet, no problem, I then start the VPN which asks for the password and username for the firewall (in which an account for me has been set up) and it seems to clear as I then get a domain login box (the same as I would if I were in the office) initially it has my firewall account info in it but take it out and enter my domain log in details. It then disconnects me saying that I do not have permission to dial in. I have tried everything to solve this but have run out of ideas. Can anyone suggest anything to help me out? I have also given myself 'log on locally' although I understand this is not needed and tried with a WIN2K laptop and had the same result.I hope I have given enough info,but if not ask and I shall provide some more.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Paul.

Make sure your Firewall allows Inbound GRE(General Route Encapsulation) protocol and port TCP 1723 to go thru your firewall up to your PPTP server. Note: I suggest that you allow these to open only to the specific IP of your server for security reasons. This may be the reason for the problem.
