In order to make VPN work from win98 external to an e-smith box, I had to login to win98 (Client for MS Networks) using a valid e-smith username/password combination - otherwise it would connect and immediatley disconnect regardless of what I enterd into the VPN client (but recognised bad passwords for legitimate usernames). "I read somewhere" that some vpn clients allow you to enter the username/password at the appropriate stage, but win98's vpn client uses your Windows login.
VPN is working well but is that in spite of me! and/or is there a way to enter the e-smith login information, separately from the Windows User Profile, using the win98 vpn client (DUN1.4). Or should this be added to e-smith documentation (I have looked!)

unfortunatly, it is not an answer.... but a question.
My system does exactly what you state : connect and disconnect immediatly.
I am not sure I understand your explainations...
Also where can I find DUN1.4 ?
Thanks for your help.

the latest update (DUN 1.4) is now available from MS for win98 at
http://download.microsoft.com/download/win98/Update/17648/W98/EN-US/dun14-98.exe
probably I didn't undersand my explanation either, but try the upgrade above first.
I believe that since you are trying to establish an MS network connection, you need to use an MS client - I assume Client for Microsoft Networks - which is then normally enabled as the Primary Logon (Control Panel | Network). as I recall 1.4 solved the immediate disconnect problem, but I still couldn't get 'in' to anything useful, nor was I prompted for any further logon. it only all worked for me when I changed my Primary Logon in Windows (when first starting up Windows) to a username and password that was vaild on the e-smith server as well (and presumably samba etc) -- this is a long answer from an unqualified source so good luck.
