Hello folks..

Have a problem which started occuring lately..people who log in using
win95 get the above message and their connection is never established.
It happens with other OS's and dialers as well but the other dialers
usually don't give much of an error message (not that MS does but
that's the most common OS these days). Anyway..I was wondering if
anyone has had it beofer or could shed some light on things..here's
some base info...

our dynamic IPs are from one class C (207.32.94.0), our pm's ether
addresses are on another (204.157.123.0 or 207.32.89.0) and the
reported addresses on the PMs are 207.32.93.10 (static IPs on
207.32.93.0 among others). It happens on both dynamic and non-dynamic
IP customers and it doesn't always happen. I've seen some debug 0x51
logs and it seems that the remote machine isnt' replying to the PM's
configure reqeusts in time. Any ideas?

Thanks for the help,
please reply to mickey@intr.net

thanks again
