Error 629 from a remote client

Hi , i am trying to get a VPN connection from a remote client running w95sp1 , to a nt4 sp6a server. The remote client attempt establish a communication with the server through an ISP but he gets Error 629: "You have been disconnected from the computer you dialed", immediately after he starts dialing. In my server i have the following configuration:
RAS service with  a COM2 port configured as  dial out  only.
VPN's port configured as Receive calls only.
I have created an user account on my domain
I have created an account for the remote computer on my domain.
I have granted dial in permission to that user account.
I am working with a spool address, and i have check the option "Allow client to request a ...."

The remote client has configured fixed ip in his VPN connection.
Pings to the remote client replies ok and vice versa.
Event View doesn´t report problems.

I tried enabling IP Forwarding. Also i tried setting "Allow any authentication including clear text".

I dont know if  i had to add in my registry the following entries. I really dont know if they are my case.
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\<networkadapter>\parameters\TcpIp\DontAddDefaultGateway
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan\PPP\CHAP "UseLMPassword"=dword:00000001.

Please if somebody knows whats wrong, please tell meeeeeee.

hmm.. I think windows 95 requires a dial-up networking upgrade in order to perform vpn connections.

Other things to check are to make sure Win95 client has Microsoft Client for networks installed.

Oh ya, and start Remote Access Service on NT Box.
This behavior can occur if the server has run out of licenses.

Read Tech net article Q232511

With the release of the 128-bit Service Pack 3 (SP3) for Windows NT 4.0, RAS
clients can now negotiate 128-bit RAS data encryption with a Windows NT 4.0 RAS
server. Normal RAS data encryption is 40-bit. RAS clients that can take
advantage of 128-bit data encryption are Windows NT Server or Workstation 4.0
with SP3 128-bit and Windows 95 Dial-Up Networking 1.2 128- bit.

A Windows 95 client that fails with the above event log will receive the
following error message:
 
   Dial-Up Networking
  Error 629: You have been disconnected from the computer you dialed.
  Double-click the connection to try again.
 
A Windows NT client that fails with the above event log will receive the
following error message:
 
   Error Connecting to RAS server
  Disconnected.
  Error 629: The port was disconnected by the remote machine.

escheider, about your comments:

- i am using msdun13.exe

Other things to check are to make sure Win95 client has Microsoft Client for networks installed.
- yes, it is installed.

Aboutthe URL's it talks about beeing desconnected by the remote machine, and it is not my case. And the other talks about RRAS , and i am using Ras.

Oh ya, and start Remote Access Service on NT Box.
- all RAS services start automatically .
1.  Try reapplying SP6a.  After adding the VPN stuff, NT pulls a bunch of crap off the CD, so you have to reSP.

2.  Make sure that the IP pool you have set up on the server includes 2 more IPs than the number of VPN connections you configure.  

3. Don't specify IP on workstation.

4. Make sure that TCP port 1723 is open if you have a firewall.

klover. i reinstalled sp6a. about the number of ips' i included in the pool was 5 (i have 3vpn's) what i dont know if in the ip pool ,do i have to include the ip of server. i think no, but i am not sure.
And the remote client is a w95 , not ntworkstation. what i know is that in his vpn connection , he has to have a fixed ip if i am using ip pool.
i am not using a firewall yet.

Thanks everyone. What a i finally did was to configure correctly the pool (thanks klover). And i told to my remote user to configure his vpn connection with the ip 200.x.x.x (she was using the server ip 192...)
And it worked.
