Error 645: Internal authentication error

Your computer has something wrong with the protcols being used internally to
authenticate and hold the connection.

Confirm that the Access Number is valid
Clean up the network control panel so only Client for Microsoft Networks,
DialUp Adapter and TCPIP are there.
Change the WINS resolution value to disable in TCP/IP properties. If it's
already disabled, change it to enable, click OK, say ok the the error
message and change it back to disabled.
Most likely windows will ask you to restart after clickin OK out of the
network control panel, but if it does not, restart anyway.
Try connecting again. 90% of the time the member will be fixed at this
point.
or if the above didnt work

Remove *.PWL files if the you on a standalone computer
Remove all network components. Click OK.
If prompted to restart the computer. Click NO.
Double click Add/Remove Programs.
If Win95, look for Dial-Up Networking 1.2 or 1.3 update in the list of
applications on the Install/Uninstall tab. If one or the other is present,
uninstall it and Restart Windows.
If Win98 or no Dial-Up Networking 1.2 or 1.3 update is shown in the list of
applications on the Install/Uninstall tab then click to the Windows Setup
tab.
Remove all communications components. Click OK.
Restart the computer.
After restart of computer search for ws2bakup.bat If it's there refer to the
Winsock2 removal article on how to remove winsock2.
Reinstall DUN and other communications components but DO NOT install MS
Virtual Private Networking.
If you removed winsock2 or a DUN upgrade say NO to all version conflicts. If
neither of these were present say YES to version conflicts.
Restart the computer.
Reinstall the necessary network components in the network control panel.
Confirm that the Computer Name and Workgroup are valid. Vaild means 8
characters or less in letter and/or number combinations in all lower case
letters.
Click OK on the network control panel window.
If you removed winsock2 or a DUN upgrade say NO to all version conflicts. If
neither of these were present say YES to version conflicts.
Restart the computer.
Login to Windows with a valid User Name. If you are not using profiles any
name will do. The username "me" without the quotes works quite nicely. If
you are using profiles then login with you'r normal username but make sure
its valid (being 8 characters or less with no caps or spaces)
Configure the Internet Control Panel with the correct User Name and
Password.
Try connecting again.
or

There could be a problem with the X2 or bad V.90 on the modem. Disable 56K,
connect at V34 protocols, and update the modem.
If you have a v.90 modem with X2, try disabling just X2 and keep the v.90.
You may not need an update.
If you only have X2, drop to v.34 and get a modem update. This happens to a
handful of TI/USR modems with transistional drivers from X2 to v.90.
Try connecting again.
or

Remove the "HKey_Current_User\RemoteAccess" registry key after backing the
registry up.
Create and configure a new DUN connection.
Configure the Internet Control Panel to use the new DUN connection.
Try connecting again.

Hope this helps you.

Subject: VPN between Windows 98 and Win2k

Hello list,

I need to set up a VPN connection from a Windows 98 client machine to a
Windows 2000 server. I can successfully establish a VPN connection to
this server from Win2k/XP and even WindowsME. The server is running the
routing and remote access service and accepts VPN connections using
PPTP.
However, Windows 98 (second edition) simply disconnects after the
authentication process with an error 645.
Any hints are greatly appreciated!

Thank you.
