Next thing you know: Dialing in to the Internet doesn't work
anymore. What happens is:
1. He dials, PPP negotiations start.
2. The connection is authenticated just fine using PAP.
3. Even the IPCP layer comes up correctly and everything.
4. Immediately after this point, the NT machine decides to terminate
the PPP connection again and eventually hangs up.
It's almost as if a timeout has been set to zero seconds.
5. The user gets a small error box on the NT machine, telling him
that error 629 occurred.
Does this look familiar to anyone? Any way to fix this?
To quote from the NT manual:
---------------------------------------------
629 The link has been disconnected for one of the following reasons:
An unrecoverable phone line error.
A noisy line.
Disconnection by the system administrator.
A conflict in configuration parameters between the client and the remote
computer.
---------------------------------------------
Not that this helps, of course :-).
This happens on a PM3 (and also when dialing in to a MicaBlazer, so it's
not the PM3's fault).
We tried changing some of the PPP RAS parameters in the registry. To no
avail. We also tried applying service pack 3. Didn't help.
Then we tried throwing away all phonebook entries and creating a new
entry from scratch. Didn't work (if it would have, I wouldn't be asking here
anymore :-). The same error keeps popping up extremely consistently (that's
just about the only good thing about this problem, it's reproducable like
clockwork).
Here's the PPP log as the WindowsNT machine sees it:
(Any hints, or suggestions would be appreciated; our client isn't too thrilled
at the thought that he'd have to reinstall WindowsNT from scratch just
to fix the "Internet-problem").

Between the message above, and the message below, there is no
noticeable delay (less than 1 second). So far we haven't been able
to figure out *why* it is simply terminating a perfectly healthy
connection immediately after connection establishment.
