The docking station at work has a network card in it, and the 755cdv also has a 3com pcard in it. When at work, I could not connect via dialup unless I stopped the 3com or removed it. I think I need to set the two network cards to different IP address. Back to your problem, are you dynamically assigning an IP address for the dialup ppp or have you set it to the same IP address as the eithernet card? To check this, go to dial up networking under my computer, right click your server Icon, select properties,server type,TCPIP settngs. Look to see if server assigned IP address is selected or if an IP address is specified. As for your missing group, check the IBM site for a thinkpad utilities disk for your model.
