LCP TermReq id=0x4 "No network protocols running

Hi.

I have a problem setting up a dial-in server using pppd (Version 2.4.1-3)=
 on a Red Hat 7.3 box (Upgrading the distro is not an option to fix the p=
roblem). The test setup consists of a Linux machine that is the server an=
d a Windows 2000 machine as the client. We need to use CHAP (but the same=
 problem has been observed with PAP as well). What happens is, when I try=
 to dial in to the linux box using the Windows dial-up connection, the us=
ername/password negotiation will succeed then the connection will get rel=
eased.

Here is the debug output from pppd:

I have made sure that under Windows, that TCP/IP is installed and configu=
red to get an IP via DHCP, use remote gateway on remote network is unchec=
ked.

I have also tried to increase the ipcp-maximum-retries parameter, to add =
the noccp option, different asyncmaps, to no avail.

I have checked the bug #55367 on Redhat's bugzilla database which seeming=
ly described this exact situation, so I have tried earlier and later vers=
ions of the RPM but that did not seem to fix the problem.

If someone else has experienced this problem before or knows how to resol=
ve it, I would very much appreciate it.

Thank you,
