    I know that I am using horribly old technology, but it is what we have. We
    have an SBS 4.5 box that has been working great for almost 5 years. We have
    a Win98SE laptop that has never been part of our network. We have a
    Watchguard SOHO 5 firewall. The SBS sits behind the SOHO, it has one NIC
    and is not running Proxy. I have installed the Watchguard Mobile User VPN
    client on the laptop and configured the SOHO to accept the VPN connection.
    The VPN connection between the laptop and the SOHO works and I can ping all
    of the trusted side of the firewall. What I can't do is to get the laptop
    to log onto the office network. When I establish the VPN connection there
    is no authentication attempt in the event viewer. Watchguard Tech Support
    says that the configuration is on the server side and that everything is
    configured correctly on the client. The user account that I am using on the
    laptop has "Allow this user to use a modem to access this server" checked as
    yes. I have the RAS RACM services are running. What configuration am I
    missing? I have searched the KB, but I couldn't find an article that
    resembled my configuration.

    Thanks for the help.
    Robert
