[pptp-server] "No domain controller was found to validate your password."

[Shahid Mahmood]

Office:
    *  PopTop running on m/c with 2 ethernet cards (64.x.x.x and 192.168.1.1)
    *  File server "NT_SERVER" on private LAN (192.168.1.2)
    *  smb server "linux-server" + wins support on 192.168.1.1 (same m/c as 
poptop).
    *  /etc/ppp/options has
                 ms-wins 192.168.1.1

Home:
    *  Win 98 SE PC
    *  lmhosts file has a line
                 192.168.1.2     NT_SERVER #PRE #DOM:atc-group
    *  WORKGROUP = atc-group
  I connect to Internet, fire up VPN get connected to office LAN
  at "Logging on to Network" dilaog, I get

"No domain controller was found to validate your password".

It happens 9 out of ten times. Sometimes it "DOES" find the N_SERVER for 
login, but the startup scripts (kick32.exe or something) either takes toooo 
long to finish or crashes the client PC.

This works:
    * The shares from "linux-server" (the samba on poptop m/c) are 
connected ok. (i can mount directories etc). These dont require NT for 
login authorizarion.

    * I can browse the network and see all NT file servers, but cannot 
write to any of them (becuz i never logged in).
    * I can ping all PC in office LAN.


*HELP* !!!
