For more information, see To configure phone number modifiers.Check that there is no stutter tone, which indicates voicemail messages, on your phone line.Many modems cannot dial more than 34 digits. When longer numbers are encountered, these modems split them into two or more strings, of which only the first (incomplete) string is dialed. This occurs with USRobotics and Multitech modems. The only known solution for this problem is to use another brand of modem.For more information, see the Personal Support Center at the Microsoft Web site ( http://www.microsoft.com/).
681 The modem reported a general error
681 One of the Network and Dial-up Connections configuration files probably contains information that is not valid.If your modem is not supported by Network and Dial-up Connections, switch to a supported modem. For the most up-to-date list of supported modems, see the Hardware Compatibility List at the Microsoft Web site (http://www.microsoft.com/). Your Windows 2000 CD includes a copy of this list ( drive: \Support\hcl.txt) that was accurate as of the date Windows 2000 was released.
691 Access was denied because the user name and/or password was invalid on the domain
691 Either your user account is not registered with the domain listed, your password is expired, or you mistyped the information. If you do not specify a domain, the remote access server attempts to verify your user name and password on the domain of which it is a member.Carefully retype your user name, password, and domain. If you are unsure of this information, ask your system administrator.
692 There was a hardware failure in the modem
692 Your modem (or other device) is not responding because of the following:
- The modem is either turned off, malfunctioning, or is not securely connected to your computer.To resolve this problem, do the following:
- Reset your modem. For more information, consult your hardware documentation.
- If you are using an external modem, ensure that you are using a proper serial cable, and that it is connected securely. You may want to try replacing the modem cable. Also, if you are using an adapter to connect your external modem to your serial port, ensure that the adapter is wired properly for modem communication. For example, a 9-to-25 pin adapter for a mouse does not work properly with a serial network connection.
- Test the serial port or multiport adapter, and replace it if necessary.
- Ensure that the handshaking options for the modem are configured properly. Consult your hardware documentation for information about different handshaking options available for your modem.
- If your modem is not supported by Network and Dial-up Connections, switch to a supported modem. For the most up-to-date list of supported modems, see the Hardware Compatibility List at the Microsoft Web site (http://www.microsoft.com/). Your Windows 2000 CD includes a copy of this list ( drive: \Support\hcl.txt) that was accurate as of the date Windows 2000 was released.
- Verify that another application, such as HyperTerminal, is not using the communications port. If the port is being used, subsequently starting Network and Dial-up Connections may cause this message to appear.
- For more information, see the Personal Support Center at the Microsoft Web site (http://www.microsoft.com/).

711 The Remote Access Connection Manager service may not be running. Modify the service to start automatically. See To configure how a service is started.Restart your computer to ensure that all recent configuration changes have taken effect. If the error persists, consult the Windows 2000 event log for detailed warnings or errors. See the Personal Support Center at the Microsoft Web site (http://www.microsoft.com/) for more information.Your modem, or modem cable, may be causing a problem. Confirm that your modem is supported. For the most up-to-date list of supported modems, see the Hardware Compatibility List at the Microsoft Web site (http://www.microsoft.com/). Your Windows 2000 CD includes a copy of this list ( drive: \Support\hcl.txt) that was accurate as of the date Windows 2000 was released.Try replacing the modem cable.
712 The two-way port is initializing. Wait a few seconds and redial
712 This error can occur on a connection that is configured to receive calls (biplex connection). It happens when you dial out at the same time the server is initializing the connection for receiving calls. Network and Dial-up Connections redials in a few seconds.
713 No active ISDN lines are available
713 Make sure that your ISDN line is plugged in correctly and that the terminating resistors are installed correctly (see the documentation for your ISDN card), and then redial. If you still receive this error, contact customer service for the ISDN card vendor or your ISDN telephone company.
714 No ISDN channels are available to make the call
714 All of the available ISDN channels are busy. Typically, ISDN provided in the BRI (Basic Rate Interface) level of service offers two channels on which voice or data calls can be made. If both channels are in use, Network and Dial-up Connections is not able to dial out. Hang up one channel and then redial.
715 Too many errors occurred because of poor phone line quality
715 Too many asynchronous errors occurred on your phone line during authentication. Try again. If the problem persists, lower your baud rate and disable any modem features that are set. See To change the maximum modem port speed and To configure an installed modem.
716 The remote access service IP configuration is unusable
716 There is a problem with the TCP/IP configuration on the remote access server. For example, your connection is requesting a TCP/IP address from the server that is not usable.Contact your system administrator to verify the TCP/IP settings on your server.
717 No IP addresses are available in the static pool of remote access service IP addresses
717 Try to use an IP address that does not cause a conflict on the remote network. If possible, use DHCP to avoid addressing conflicts. See To configure TCP/IP settings.
718 The connection timed out waiting for a valid response from the remote computer
718 A PPP conversation started, but terminated because the remote computer did not respond within an appropriate time. This may be caused by poor line quality or by a problem at the server.
719 The connection was terminated by the remote computer
719 A PPP conversation started, but terminated at the request of the remote computer. An error probably occurred on the server.
720 The connection attempt failed because your computer and the remote computer could not agree on PPP control protocols
720 Either there are no PPP network control protocols configured for your connection, or the corresponding network protocol is not installed. This error may occur when the type of network protocol is changed during the product upgrade process.For information about adding a network protocol, see To add a network component.
721 The remote computer is not responding
721 A PPP conversation was attempted, but the remote computer did not respond. This error occurs when the server does not support PPP, such as a Windows NT 3.51 or earlier remote access server, or a SLIP server.This error may also occur if the server requires logging on by using a terminal window before starting PPP. See To use the Terminal feature to log on to a remote computer. If using a terminal window to log on solves the problem, you can automate the process for future connections. See Automating the dial-up logon process by using Windows scripting.This error can also indicate faulty hardware on your computer, or the remote server.
722 Invalid data was received from the remote computer. This data was ignored
722 A PPP packet was received that is not in a valid format. Your system administrator may need to log PPP events to a file to solve the problem. For more information, see the Personal Support Center at the Microsoft Web site (http://www.microsoft.com/).
723 The phone number, including prefix and suffix, is too long
723 The maximum length of the phone number, including prefix and suffix, is 128 characters.
726 The IPX protocol cannot be used for dial-out on more than one modem at a time
726 Only one connection can be used to dial out by using the IPX protocol.
728 The system cannot find an IP adapter
728 There is a problem with the TCP/IP configuration. Restart your computer to ensure that all recent configuration changes have taken effect.
729 SLIP cannot be used unless the IP protocol is installed
729 Verify that TCP/IP is installed. For more information, see To add a network component.
731 The protocol is not configured
731 Specific information was requested on a PPP control protocol that is not configured. To identify the PPP negotiation problem, ask your system administrator to enable PPP logging by using the Netsh.exe utility.
732 Your computer and the remote computer could not agree on PPP control protocols
732 PPP parameter negotiation did not succeed because the local and remote computers did not agree on a common set of parameters. See your system administrator to verify the configuration of network protocols such as TCP/IP, IPX, or NetBEUI. Also, your system administrator can enable PPP logging by using the Netsh.exe utility, which may help identify the PPP negotiation problem.
733 Your computer and the remote computer could not agree on PPP control protocols
733 The server supports PPP but does not support the network protocol for your connection. Ask your system administrator to configure the connection to use a network protocol that is supported by your server. Also, your system administrator can enable PPP logging by using the Netsh.exe utility, which may help to identify the PPP negotiation problem.
734 The PPP link control protocol was terminated
734 A PPP link control protocol conversation started, but 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.
735 The requested address was rejected by the server
735 Your connection is configured to request a specific IP address. Either the server is not configured to permit clients that request specific IP addresses, or the specific IP address may already be in use by another client. If possible, use DHCP to avoid addressing conflicts. See To configure TCP/IP settings.
736 The remote computer terminated the control protocol
736 A PPP network control protocol conversation started, but 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 Loopback detected
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 vendor's servers, it may indicate that the remote computer is attempting a teletypewriter (TTY) login before connecting. You can configure the connection for a post-connect terminal on the Security tab.
738 The server did not assign an address
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 To configure TCP/IP settings.
739 The authentication protocol required by the remote server cannot use the stored password. Redial, entering the password explicitly
739 This error occurs only when making a PPP connection to a non-Microsoft server. The standard PPP authentication protocols, used for interoperating with other servers, require that the password is available in plaintext form, but Windows stores only the encrypted form for security.
740 An invalid dialing rule was detected
740 The TAPI devices configured for Network and Dial-up Connections failed to initialize or are not installed correctly. Restart your computer to make sure that all recent configuration changes have taken effect. If the error persists, consult the event log for detailed warnings or errors.
741 The local computer does not support the required data encryption type
741 The Require data encryption (disconnect if none) check box is selected on the Security tab, but your connection does not have encryption capability. Clear the check box to use unencrypted connections or see your system administrator.This error may also occur if your password is longer than 14 characters, you selected the Require data encryption (disconnect if none) check box on the Security tab, and you selected Require secured password in Validate my identity as follows . Use a password less than 14 characters, clear the Require data encryption (disconnect if none) check box, and click Allow unsecured password in Validate my identity as follows .See To configure a connection.
742 The remote computer does not support the required data encryption type
742 The required level of encryption is not available on the remote computer. One computer is probably using 128-bit encryption technology while the other is using 40-bit or 56-bit encryption. See your system administrator to determine your level of encryption, and to verify that the server is using the same level of encryption.128-bit encryption is available without restriction for North American users of Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3, and Windows 9 x clients that use dial-up networking 1.2 and higher. You need to order separately the version of each of these products that supports 128-bit encryption. Availability outside of North America is determined by United States Government regulation. For more information, see Data encryption.
743 The remote server requires data encryption
743 The remote access server requires encryption, but your connection is not enabled for encryption. See To configure identity authentication and data encryption settings for a dial-up connection and To configure identity authentication and data encryption settings for a VPN connection.
