Ok; before you get started, I know it's not intuitive... 1. grab your ISA CD 2. drill down to the sdk\inc folder 3. use your favorite text editor to open wspfwerr.h 4. search for 0xC0040021 5. read the comments: // // MessageId: FWX_E_CONNECTION_REQUEST_REJECTED // // MessageText: // // An attempt to log on to the VPN server was rejected during the authentication phase. // The client session was disconnected. // #define FWX_E_CONNECTION_REQUEST_REJECTED ((HRESULT)0xC0040021L) IOW, this connection was rejected for authentication failure. RRAS didn't like the credentials and told the user to bugger off. ------------------------------------------------------- Jim Harrison MCP(NT4, W2K), A+, Network+, PCG http://isaserver.org/Jim_Harrison/ http://isatools.org Read the help / books / articles! ------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Greg M.

The failure is due to error: 0xc0040021 ". I first thought that the user wasn't logging in correctly but, I now I'm not so sure. Any help would be appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx All mail to and from this domain is GFI-scanned.
