SYMPTOMS

If the RASDIAL utility is used to dial a non-existent entry on a non- English version of Windows NT 4.0, the following is displayed:

   C:> rasdial bogus
   Error from RasGetEntryProperties = 623        <-------- Problem

   RAS-Fehler 623 - Telefoneintrag konnte nicht gefunden werden.

   Weitere Hilfe zu diesem Fehler erhalten Sie folgendermaszen:
           Geben Sie ein: 'winhlp32 rasphone.hlp'
           Wahlen Sie die Index-Seite in der Windows-Hilfe aus, und geben
           Sie dann
   ein: 'Fehler 623'

NOTE: The spelling of the following two words is changed from the original spelling because the Knowledge Base cannot display some of the characters:

   folgendermaszen - the "sz" is used to represent the German
   alphabetic character "ess zeht."

   Wahlen - the letter "a" is used to represent the German alphabetic
   Character "a umlaut."

CAUSE

This occurs because the text "Error from:" is hard-coded and not localized.
