Hmmm, actualy it didn't. I desinstalled VPN through the Windows setup box, rebooted
reinstalled through the WSB, rebooted, tried to connected... and got the same
error. But this time in stead of seeing Workgroup\\testuser on my server I say
just \\testuser which doesn't work either. I tried putting \\testuser in the
chap-secrets file but that doesn't help :-( (I'm guessing there might be a " "
in front of the \\). Recompiling poptop with the patch to strip out everything in
front of \\ isn't really an option since the server is in production so I can't just
start playing around with it :-(.  Any other options? (I haven't found anything
usefull in the archives yet, but then again it's rather hard to search them :-( )
