[pptp-server] Win 98 second edition won't connect

[Nico De Ranter]

Hi,

I'm trying to connect to my poptop server from a brand new
portable with Win98 Second Edition installed. However I'm constantly
denied access.  When I do the same thing from another slightly older
portable with Win98 (not SE) everything works fine.  I tried to install
dun40.exe (which I believe is installed on the other portable) but the
installation program refuses to install on Win98SE.  

The logs on the server show something like this:

  Feb  4 14:17:51 ape pppd[23829]: rcvd [CHAP Response id=0x1
  <d4d7fdcc962a904b8b200de3c7b5d0fb00000000000000000009e36725ea686da2fee81cf00422150ff32aadf70f006604>, name = "Workgroup\\testuser"]
  Feb  4 14:17:51 ape pppd[23829]: No CHAP secret found for authenticating Workgroup\\nico
  Feb  4 14:17:51 ape pppd[23829]: sent [CHAP Failure id=0x1 "I don't like you.  Go 'way."]
  Feb  4 14:17:51 ape pppd[23829]: MSCHAP-v2 peer authentication failed for remote host Workgroup\\nico
  Feb  4 14:17:51 ape pppd[23829]: sent [LCP TermReq id=0x2 "Authentication failed"]

What's that "Workgroup\\" doing in front of my username?

As I said it works perfectly with the same user from another portable.
