Crossbrand - Point to Point Tunneling Protocol does not work on Micro Channel based machines
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
Point to Point Tunneling Protocol does not work on Micro Channel Based Machines. PPTP does not even appear in the list of protocols on a Micro Channel based machine.
Resolution:
Microsoft had inadvertently put a "Platforms Supported" section in the OEMNXPPP.INF file. Platforms are irrelevant here since it is a higher level networking protocol. Microsoft has confirmed this as a bug and will fix it in the next service pack. Until then, IBM is providing an updated OEMNXPPP.INF file that will fix the problem.
Directions to Install PPTPMCA.ZIP:
1. Open a command Prompt.
2. Change to you %WINROOT%\SYSTEM32 directory, where %WINROOT% is the directory where you installed NT.
3. Rename the existing OEMNXPPP.INF to OEMNXPPP.BAK
4. Copy the included OEMNXPPP.INF file to the %WINROOT%\SYSTEM32 Directory.
When this is completed, you should see the Point to Point Protocol in the Protocols list in the Networking Control Panel applet.
