Dial in profile error > help!

[Nev]

Hi all,

New installation of Wingate 6.0.3 & KAV & customer waiting.

All ok but for the dial in process / connect to the clients ISP [there is always something that will extend the most simple moments where computers are concerned by a few hours!].

Connectoid is valid, user / pass are known and proven to work.

Installed in Wingate's dialer and authentication fails with the debug log reporting:

"Access was denied because the username/password are invalid on the domain" error 668?

Any ideas?

O/s Win XP Home, internal modem on Compaq / AMD hardware minus about 8 viruses [now]!.

Thanks,
Nev.

Edit: Ok 6:06z update, installing SP2 cured the issue more or less, then the 'Home' version is a bit flaky itself.

My suspicion is that the problem was a legacy of the 'nasties' that had been ingested by this machine!

Interesting, though. After I updated to XP SP2 on my laptop (XP Home) all dial-in networking (PC-Anywhere, etc.) failed completely - modem would just never connect, no matter how many drivers I changed out, etc.

Of course, WinGate wasn't involved ;-)

Yikes Pascal!

Then notebooks tend to have more proprietary driver layers than desktop boxes.

Wonder if the 'Pro' version would cope better, still in all my preference is Win2k, doesn't execute as speedily as XP, but can be expected to withstand some rough treatment and usually recovers.

It isn't surprising to me how users that were troubled endlessly on any type of connection, can now run a year and I never hear from them, of course Wingate *is* to blame for this peace of mind!

Great job!

Cheers,
Nev.
