System error 1240 means that the client is refusing to talk to a
non-encrypting server. If you've read the FAQ then you will have read the
section which mentions that in order to allow NT4 Service Pack 3 to use
non-encrypted passwords you need to apply a registry patch. If you have
read most of the documentation then I am sure you've stumbled accross
WinNT.txt which documents this particular problem and the possible
solutions.
