Error 649 The account does not have permissions to dial in

[George]

Connecting a VPN connection from a w2k sp4 pro box to a w2k adv. sp4
RRAS server, I get the error 649. I am using a local account
configured on the RRAS server box and it is set to allow dial in and
vpn access. The current set up has worked in the past. Not sure what
parameter has changed, any Ideas?

You could look at this KB article which talks about this problem
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=266460

Note: I have seen this problem only when the user doesn't have dailin
permissions.

Thanks,

Thank you for the link, found at least one problem, I had no access
policy configured, not sure what happen to the default one. Anyway,
still having issues connecting a VPN via PPTP from outside my LAN.
Inside the LAN the following works; WIN2k pro SP4, WIN2k Advanced
server SP4 and XP pro SP1. From the outside all connect except for XP
pro sp1. Receive error 721, as I see many have talked about. I am
connected to the internet via DSL (westell modem set up as pass
through). The westell is connected to a WIN2k adv. server sp4 and is
running RRAS, both routing and VPN connectivity. Using a SW firewall,
which I have tried turning off to no avail.

What about this GRE protocl 47, what is the best way to determine if
it is being blocked? Does GRE only affect XP pro SP1? I ask, because
that is when this all started, till now all was fine.
