dialing in to xp from win 95 (not a remote desktop problem)

I have a win 95 pc at home, and now have an xp pc at work. Previously at work I had a win nt pc on an nt network. I used to be able to use a dialup connection from home to my pc at work and access the internet. I could also access a server with the dialup and also access the internet. Since getting the new pc, I took my old modem out of my old pc and installed in my new pc. Now I can still connect to the server, but when I dial the number to my pc, I get connected,but then get disconnected. The next day when I look at the event log on my pc at work, I get the message- The user GSBNT\username failed an authentication attempt due to the following reason: The current configuration of the Internet Authentication Service (IAS) Server only supports local user accounts (event 20187). I am an administrator on my pc, but not on the nt network. My rights on the network have not changed

Please help.

If you have a local account on your machine, you should be able to log in
using that account.

Otherwise, it appears to me that organizational policies are preventing this
access. I'm not clear why this didn't happen when the host machine was
NT--I don't have a good systematic grounding in policy issues.

Have you run this by the IT staff at the workplace?
 
Bill,
I did ask one of our IT people and as far as he knew my rights are the same.
One person suggested that when I try to login from dialup to specifyify the username as
COMPUTERNAME\USERNAME to force use of the local account. When I did this and check the event log I got the message- The user GSBNT\COMPUTERNAME\username failed an authentication attempt due to the following reason: The current configuration of the Internet Authentication Service (IAS) Server only supports local user accounts (event 20187). I am not sure where the domain name is comming from. I have not been typing it in.

Also, and I can't remember the key strokes I used , but on one of my last attempts after checking the event log I got the message GSBNT\username has connected and failed to authenticate on port com 3, the line has been disconnected.

Any thoughts?
