RAS Dialin Error tcp/ip Error 733 w/ ppp????

[wncads]

I have a RAS issue with a NT 4.0 Server, we are dialing in fine but when going through the verification of username and password, it stops after Registering Computer on the network, with the following...

Checking Network Protocol Connections:
TCP/IP Reported Error 733 a problem with PPP

Your computer and the remote computer could not agree on a compatible set of protocols.

Both the remote server and my workstation have TCP/IP installed and internet access as well. We have tried dialing in from several different locations on different machines so the problem is on the server with RAS.

Looking for ideas on what to try next...

It looks as though you have not selected PPP as your protocol in the RAS settings on the server. Try the following:-

1/ Ensure that the TCP/IP protocol is installed on your RAS server and that the TCP/IP protocol is selected in the Server Settings of the Network Configuration option of the Remote Access Setup dialog.

2/If you have the "Use DHCP to assign remote TCP/IP client addresses" option selected for the TCP/IP protocol in the RAS Server Settings, then ensure that you have installed DHCP and that it is not disabled.

3/Ensure that all of the bindings for TCP/IP are enabled in the Bindings tab of the Network dialog of the Control Panel. Be sure to inspect the TCP/IP Protocol and WINS Client(TCP/IP) bindings for all adapters, all protocols, and all services. If the TCP/IP bindings are corrupt, you may have to reinstall TCP/IP and or RAS in order to clean up the bindings.

This behavior can occur if the Negotiate multi-link for single link connections option is enabled.

To resolve this issue:
Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Network and Dial-up Connections.
Right-click the connection you want to use and then click Properties.
Click the Networking tab.
Click Settings.
Click to clear the Negotiate multi-link for single link connections check box.
Click OK.
Click OK.

Hope this is of some help
