    Actually that's my main problem. I've been trying to find the checkbox for
    the log on using dialup connection, but it is not there, even after I hit
    the options button. Is there something in specific that needs to be done to
    enable that option?

    This is a client who doesn't want to spend money if possible, so they're
    trying to use the tools that Windows provides.

    Ryan,

    I'm trying to answer this from memory, so double check it before you
    implement it. :-)

    * Create the VPN connection in XP's Network Connections folder while
    logged in using the cached profile.
    * Log off
    * On the logon screen, open the options section
    * There should be a checkbox to authenticate using dial up access (which
    includes using the VPN over a high speed Internet connection)
    * Check the checkbox and login.... it will pause as it creates the
    tunnel and then authenticates off of the DC.

    I think that's it.

    Hope this helps.

    Keith

    I'm trying to find a way to integrate a login to a VPN with a domain
    login.
    Users at a remote office currently login using a cached profile then
    manually start a VPN connection using the client included with XP Pro.
    These machines are then authenticating to the Windows 2000 server at the
    central office. I know in NT4 there was a check box for dial up
    authentication to a domain, however is there anything similar to this
    for XP
    to allow seamless integration of these two logins? I tried setting the
    VPN
    to login using the Windows credentials and putting a shortcut in the
    startup
    folder, however the VPN connection does not start that way for some
    reason.

    Ryan
