NT4 with RAS and ISDN PPP problem

well i think so 'cause it kicks me off when I put in the wrong securID number.

So when you try accessing the share, is that when you get PPP timeout errors?

What happens when you try and map a share? Any errors?

Exact error messages, if you get any. Then I'll do what I can.

well I got one of our networking guys involved earlier and it confused him as well. Just to be clear on the error msg front - it sometimes does not connect and that is when I get a PPP timeout error and it just disconnects. However when it appears to dial and connect ok (more often than not) there are no errors msgs. If I bring up a dos prompt and do ping servername -t it can get a good response but as soon as I try and browse a server either by going start run \servernamesharename it kills the ping, i.e. it just times out and cannot ping anything anymore - the dialup connection stays live though.
Oh and I have recieved different IP's on different connections so DHCP seems to be doing it's job.

Guy, stupid question but have you tried reapplying the service pack?

I know its a Ghost image but might be worth a shot.

[GregE240]

Secondly, are you using encryption and encrypted authentication? There's a known problem with this that is resolved by applying the latest service pack.

[guysh]

Oh yes I have applied the service plenty of times! I'm hopefully going to be battling on with it later on - I'll let you know if I find anything more - Thanks for all the help so far.

A few years back we had some problems with ISDN on NTservers and clients using RAS. The resolution was to disable WINS TCP/IP client bindings on the ISDN WAN wrappers and bits (can't remember exactly their names). The timeout was caused by WINS registration.
