Seems like kcq-witchdoctor covers all bases with that response. The only thing I would ask is are you doing your configuration from a remote host or are you setting this up locally. I have, in the past had different results with the way terminal server services and/or vpn operate if I set my config up remotely rather than from the local host.
The permissions in MS windows can not always be a predicted set of results and remote connectivity is certainly one area effected by permissions and security settings.
I know everyone always says 'check your permissions', I also know from experience that it is usually good advice.
I hope you find your solution soon.

I tried all the above options, but the same problem. it gets connected to my win2000 vpn server quickly
but gets disconnected with in couple of minutes. I need to address this issue immediately. I went for this solution because it is of low cost and serve our immeditate purpose. is there any way i can fix this issue
without incurring extra expediture.

if there is no solution for this , i request you people to give some alternative solution for this
even linux based solutions will do.

I cannot incur any extra expenditure on this as we have already invested some money on hardware

Any early help is higly appreciated

Thanks in advance
