Jeremy,

Windows clients will send the domain name as part of the login name. What
you are seeing is a failure of pppd to authenticate it.

You can choose to setup the users with domain names in your chap-secrets
database. Be careful though pppd is case sensitive and Windows 98 does not
shift the case, it sends the domain name in the case that it was entered in
network properties.

You should create a user called SV.IDEALAB\\jeremy in the chap-secrets file
and it should work for you.

John.
