Rasdial constantly returning error 604 in the cllback function

I had used rasapi32 to dial my ras connection for broadband, and it
was dialling the connection fine, but recently I think I accidently
changed something, and now it has stopped working.

Now the callbackfuction is returning with the dwError of 604('wrong
information specified' i think). Please help me as I am at my wits
end, as to what could I have possible changed to cause this.

To try this code, just add a button on your form, and use this code:

Anybody has any ideas on this?

I didn't check everything but the return value should be Integer, not Long.

Public hwndParent As IntPtr

Public Reserved As IntPtr 'Integer can work for Win32

Here are two members missing: (for Win2K+)
- reserved1 as intptr
- RasEapInfo structure

Thanks. I'll check this in my code, but again, as I said, it was all
working earlier and I don't remember deleting any code. I'll report
back here after trying your ideas.
