Please can someone help me.

I have a user in the company who cant seem to dialin on our Windows 2003
server and authenticate. All the Windows machines work his account its just
his MAC G5 it has OS X

He can get to the shares on the network when plugged into our network, but
just using dial-up doesnt work.

I presume its the way it authenticates. I have tries different policy and
different authentication protocals like PAP but it seems that it still doesnt
connect. It dials out and the handshake starts to work, then it gets to
authenticating and then it says its disconnecting.

Please let me know what to try by step by step.

Thanks

How is your user authenticating? He may need to add the Windows domain
name before his account name in the form of "doman\account". Also, what
do your event logs say? This may lead you to what's going wrong.

Hope this helps! bill
