[pptp-server] error on login in

[George Vieira]

Dial Up Networking create actual files which contain information in them.
They (as far as I know) are just plain text. I think it copies the domain
info into the dial up file.

Try opening your Dial Up Networking connection with Notepad.. I think it's
text readable and contains the workgroup in there... but as Mikael says,
create a new VPN is easier...

Hello, 

I am having sort of similar problems: Login with Windows 98 SE does not seem
to send ANY domain (that is, it seems that the person is not even logged in 
to Microsoft networking on the client). The primary logon (control panel -> 
network) is correctly set, as is the identification workgroup. WHAT'S GOING 
ON? =)

As to your problem, I had that yesterday and I don't know if this is really
what happened, but my PPTP dial-up connection sent the old domain
name, even though I had changed it, until I actually created a new VPN
dial-up entry. After that it sent the correct, new name. (AND HOW IS
THAT POSSIBLE? =))
