   Error 640  -  ERROR_NETBIOS_ERROR
   Error 650  -  ERROR_SERVER_NOT_RESPONDING

MORE INFORMATION

The code returned by 639=ERROR_CANNOT_GET_LANA is a not a NetBIOS error code, but a RAS error that can be returned by the RAS Manager service RasAllocateRoute and RasActivateRoute API calls (made to enable network traffic for the AMB session on the link). This error is typically due to configuration problem, rather than a line problem.

The following list summarizes all the Code=x extended error codes currently reported:
