VPN Not working on Win98

[Jon]

We are trying to get a VPN connection up and working on my Win98 machine to connect to an offsite WinNT Server. We've been able to get a VPN connection to work from an NT machine to the NT server, but setting the Win98 machine up the same has not worked. Any special needs for Win98 to get this to work?

Thanks in Advance,
Jon

are you throwing errors ? Mine used to work from home to our work servers, but now all i get is an error 645. Anybody in the wired INTRANET can vpn in. Anyway take a look at http://www.msdn.microsoft.com and just type your error number into the search box in the upper left corner. To answer your question (when my VPN did work): all i had to do was install the Microsoft VPN adapter from the cd, change my workgroup to match the Domain, log into 'client for Microsoft Networks' and insure i was an authenticated user on my server with proper shares in place. I'm in the process of correcting my error 645 arrgh i need to access the resources from home ~ so I'll let you know about correcting error 645. hope this helps

duh.. did i say to insure that your control panel - add/remove - windows setup - communications - virtual private networking was installed. That was my prob. That checkbox wasn't checked (anymore). So I reinstalled vpn from here. Now i'm back online at work. Hope this helps, Dracman

Actually I figured out the problem for my Win98 box. I added a network card to the machine and it then it worked. I think it's dumb that you need a network card for this. I was trying to VPN through a modem.

What software are you all using for the VPN? It sounds like the software is already installed? We were using cisco software on win98 machines into nt server and had all sorts of problems.

We are using a Cicso 3000 concentrator. Currentlly we have 98 and nt laptops connecting to the vpn box using ipsec. In Nt you need to login to the corporate domain on the laptop. On 98 would need to check to make sure the 98 is a member of your corporate domain. It works if you have a nic or not.

At this point you dial isp. Step 2 launch cisco client. Log into client with corporate username and password and corporate domain.

Nt does not run loging script. 98 will if nic is installed if only a modem is in stalled it will not run login script. On both machines the machines receive their mapped drives even though log-in script is not visible.

In 2000 pro cisco does not have a client at this time for 2000. So we are using pptp and creating a specific group on the vpn box for 2000 users.

The one ploblem with pptp you cannot open a browser if you are connected to vpn you need to disconnect in order to browse the internet.

Hope this helps for you who are using Cisco.
