VPN Authentication Failed E=691

Hi,

I am having some problem connecting to my office VPN on MS Server 2003.

Intel MacBook CoreDuo OSX 10.4.9

Also tried Encryption "None".
Have also tried DigiTunnel Mac VPN client to no avail.

Configured on PPTP, with MS-CHAP V2.

Hi

Taken from this website:

If authentication fails:

* Make sure your Username and password are correct. Some servers require a Windows domain name before the username. Be sure to separate these with a backslash. (Remote message E=691).
