[pptp-server] Error 629 on NT

[Tavis]

Matt,

Tried that.  No go any other ideas?  Is there supposed to be a tab or space
between DOMAIN\\ and username? Also is DOMAIN\\ case sensitive?  Where does
servername figure in and how does the pptp server check that name.
Obviously it isn't a netbios name (at least i can't see how it could be).
Hostname maybe?  They match in my case but of course the netbios name is
uppercase and hostname is lowercase.  Is this entry case sensitive?  Should
each of the fields be separated by tabs or spaces or does it matter?  Lastly
but probably most importantly do you have to apply the MS patch to this to
get NT working as a client i.e. does MS WINNT support chap with the "accept
only encrypted authentication" option selected?
