Error 619 The specified port is not connected

[Tugarine]

Can anyone help me with the following problem?

I am using W2000 SP4 at home to connect to my company's
office server, which runs NT 4.0 server.

After I establish dial up connection I attempt to
establish a VPN connection to the same server.

When I did it for the first time, it worked just fine, but
then the VPN connection stopped establishing. After a
couple of minutes of displaying 'Verifying username and
password...' message, the connection wizard
responds : "Error connecting to [connection name]
Disconnected. Error 619. The specified port is not
connected". 'More Info' button responds with: "619
Restart your computer to make sure that all recent
configuration changes have taken effect". Alas,
restarting the computer does not change anything.

I spent serveral hours with this problem and only managed
to fix it by reinstalling W2000 on my home computer. The
problem went away. But recently I started getting these
messages again (probably it started after installation of
SP4) and can not establish the VPN connection.

Is there a way to fix this problem without reinstaling the
system again? What port is not connected and where is it
specified?

Thanks in advance to those, who can answer.

Error 619: 1. The port was disconnected (or Error 645, Dial-Up Networking
could not complete the connection to the server and Error 930, The
authentication server did not respond to authentication requests in a timely
fashion. The Event Viewer shows: Event id: 20073, Description: The following
error occurred in the Point to Point Protocol module on port: port number,
UserName: user name. The authentication server did not respond to
authentication requests in a timely fashion). When using VPN to access a
remote network, W2K clients mat get above errors but not win9x and ME
clients. This issue occurs because the VPN server hasn't registered in
Active Directory.
2.You get this message when connecting via cable modems, dial up DOESN'T
have any issues.

Resolution: 1) This problem most likely is secure issue such as unsecured
password. So, check the settings.
2) It could be the hardware issue. Try to re-setup the device or download
the new driver or just reset the devices such as modem and router.
3) Reapply the service pack
4) If the RRAS is in a domain network, add the VPN to the appropriate group.
To do this, go to Active Directory Users and Computers>domain name>Users,
double-click the RAS and IAS Servers security group. Select the members and
add the VPN server to this group. 2) Type netsh ras add registeredserver at
a command prompt (registeredserver is vpn server name), and then press
ENTER.
