736
A PPP network control protocol conversation started, but it was terminated at the request of the remote computer. An error probably occurred on the server. See your system administrator. Also, your system administrator can enable PPP logging by using the Netsh.exe utility, which may help to identify the PPP negotiation problem.
737
The local and remote computers that are involved in the PPP conversation are the same computer. This usually means that a device (for example, a modem) on the link is echoing characters back. Try resetting these devices.
For other servers from other vendors, it may indicate that the remote computer is attempting a teletypewriter (TTY) logon before connecting. You can configure the connection for a post-connect terminal on the Security tab.
738
The server cannot assign an IP address to your computer from the pool of allocated addresses. Ask your system administrator to configure the connection to use a specific IP address on the client that does not cause a conflict on the remote network. Or, if possible, use DHCP to avoid addressing conflicts. See Configure TCP/IP settings.
739
This error occurs only when making a PPP connection to a server that is not running Windows. The standard PPP authentication protocols, used for interoperating with other servers, require that the password is available in plaintext form. Servers that are running Windows store only the encrypted form for security.
