You usually have to have "Client for Microsoft Network" installed. You'll
need the Windows CD for this.
According to Microsoft:
"There are a number of reasons why this
may be occurring, and there are a number of ways you can try and get around
the problem. One method is to change your Computer Name to the login ID you
use for your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You can modify your computer
name by double-clicking the Network icon in the Control Panel, then
selecting the Identification tab (you'll have to reboot for the change to
take affect).
Sometimes, un-installing and re-installing Dial-up Networking can solve
this problem. In the Control Panel, choose the Add/Remove Programs option.
Then go to the Windows Setup tab, and uncheck the Dial-up Networking
option. Press OK until all the dialog boxes are closed, then reboot. Follow
these same instructions and re-check the Dial-up Networking option. Then
try your connection again.
Some users have had luck solving this problem by installing the Client for
Microsoft Networks. In the Control Panel, open the Network option. If the
Client for Microsoft Networks is not at or near the top of the list, press
the Add button, then choose Client, Microsoft, and then Client for
Microsoft Networks. Press OK until all the dialog boxes are closed, then
reboot.
