Unable to start the RRAS service

Hello.

The RAS (Windows authentication) was working fine on my
W2K server and the dial-up client was able to connect to
this server properly. Since couple of days, RAS was not
working and unable to start. If I double click and start
the service, it logs two errors in the Event log.
1. Service Control Manager: RRAS service terminated with
service specific error 87.
2 RAS error: The current configured authentication
provider failed to initialize successfully. The parameter
is incorrect.

I appreciate if some one can help on this matter.
In my earlier post, Manjari Bonam responded but could not
proceed further hence posting again.
Pal.
