Trumpet PPP Client Can Hang RAS

 Last reviewed: August 22, 1996
Article ID: Q124599
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5

SYMPTOMS

A Trumpet WinSock Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) client that connects to Windows NT Server version 3.5 Remote Access Service (RAS) can cause RAS to stop responding (hang) if the client doesn't log off gracefully using the Trumpet logoff script.

CAUSE

The Trumpet WinSock PPP client sends a password authentication protocol (PAP) packet to establish a new connection on an established connection. Windows NT Server version 3.5 RAS does not handle this condition properly.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5. This problem was corrected in the latest US Service Pack for Windows NT. For information on obtaining this update, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
