RAS Error 720

[Phil M.]

Both my VPN and dial-up connections result in a "RAS error 720" error
message. This seemed to coincide with a recent upgrade of McAfee VirusScan
Enterprise 8.0.0.

OS: Windows XP Pro, sp2, all critical updates installed.

Anyone know of a resolution before I go for a system restore?

Error 720: No PPP control protocols configured.

Resolution:
1) make sure both RAS server and client have the correct protocol setup.
2) make sure the NetBIOS interface has being installed and the NetBIOS
binding has being enabled. The NetBIOS interface is required for
establishing logical names and sessions on the network for Windows NT/9x/ME.

Leafing through microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web, I read a message
from (e-mail address removed) of 31 Jan 2005:

Thanks. I've already done that by comparing other computers in my LAN
that are working fine with the VPN client.

I've tried all the above. Any other options? Could this be
McAfee-related?
