Client-Side 645 error

[Jon Carnes]

Assuming you have set everything up correctly and you are executing it
correctly, then check on Microsoft's site for a patch specific to the
version of Win98 you have (there are currently 4 versions).

Checking out MS's knowledge base for the specific error:

(and that's quite a line wrap...)

Remove and then reinstall Virtual Private Networking using the Add/Remove
Programs tool in Control Panel. To do so, follow these steps:

1 Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

2 Double-click Add/Remove Programs.

3 Click the Windows Setup tab.

4 Click Communications, and then click Details.

5 Click the Virtual Private Networking check box to clear it, click OK, and
then click Apply.

Repeat steps 3-5, but click the Virtual Private Networking check box to
select it.

Click OK.
