[pptp-server] Win98 IPCP not starting

[Jose M. Sanchez]

Normally this is a result of misconfiguration in the LAN setup... not
necessarily wrought by the user... rather bad registry entries.

Try this:

In the WIN98SE machine, go into the control panel and delete all networking
items.

Then boot to dos, and delete the protocol.* files in the windows directory.

Reboot windows and let it re-detect the LAN card. Re-install the setups...

This normally cures what you are seeing.

|After way too much digging and crying, I've come to the conclusion that
|Win98 (First Edition) is a big ole piece of trash.  The problem is simply
|that Win98 will not attempt to start an IPCP protocol layer.  It seems to
|be only on this laptop (for now).  My Win95 box works great.  Perfectly,
|in fact.  I have no issues with connecting from any other machines (all
|Win95) and setups are identical.  My rope is getting tighter.  I'm already
|at the end of it.
|
|Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
