Login Failure due to: Driver failure

[Ryan]

I am trying to access my company network using Nortel's
Contivity VPN Client. I am running through an onboard
Interg Ethernet adapter to a Belkin router to a Westell
DSL modem. From the client logs it appears I am talking
to the VPN switch just fine. I obtain the name serves,
WINS server, failover servers, etc... Then the connection
failes with the log:
"Login Failure due to: Driver failure"

When I review the System Event logs I see ...

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Server
Event Category: None
Event ID: 2504
Date: 10/23/2003
Time: 6:43:45 AM
User: N/A
Computer: SGTPEPPER
Description:
The server could not bind to the transport
\Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{DD84D50D-8985-4366-BE47-
DA5C9C7B2CF5}.


Anyone know what could cause a bind error like this??

Event ID 2504, 2505, 8021 and 8032 - Inability to Browse
Symptoms: 1. When you double-click My Network Places in a client, an
incomplete browse list is displayed.
2. Computers that do not have file and printer sharing turned on do not
appear in the browse list.
3. Windows client that try to use the browse list gets Event ID 8021 or
8032:
4. On the domain controller that does not have file and printer sharing
turned on gets Event ID: 2504 or Event ID: 2505

a.. Your computer is a multihomed computer (that is, it may link
simultaneously to two or more subnets using multiple network cards).
b.. Your computer is a master browser.
c.. Your computer is running the TCP/IP protocol.
Resolutions: 1. A Windows computer that becomes a backup browser but that
does not have file and printer sharing turned on cannot share the browse
list with clients. In the other words, any computer that is to be included
in the browse list must also have file and printer sharing turned on. Make
sure you have installed or turn on file and printer sharing on the domain
controllers and on any computer that is in the browse list.
2. If the multihomed computer network cards are linked to the same subnet or
the computer as master browser is using an incorrect subnet mask, unbind all
but one of the TCP/IP subnet transport bindings from the workstation
service; or remove all but one of the network cards or RAS connections; or
at the command prompt type the following command: net stop browser. NOTE:
After you perform these steps, wait at least 10 minutes to see if the errors
still occur.
3. Also, you may want to check IPC$ status on the server by using net share
command.
