SYMPTOMS
Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections from a Windows 2000 client may stop working after the computer resumes from Hibernate or Standby mode if the Incoming Connections option is enabled. The VPN client returns the following error message:

Error 51: The modem (or other connecting device) has reported an error.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the Telephony API (TAPI) provider is not shut down during Hibernate or Standby. When the computer resumes, Remote Access Service (RAS) tries to initialize the TAPI provider but the operation is unsuccessful because TAPI was never shut down.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, delete the Incoming Connections icon in Network and Dial-Up Connections, and then restart the computer.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 2000.
