Hi list,

I'm sure this has been discussed before but I don't seem to be able to find
it in the archives. I do find a short discussion in 2004 but that doesn't
seen to solve my problem.

First is it possible to logon to a windows domain over a PPTP VPN (using
XP)?
With this I mean that the user boots his/her laptop, hits CTRL-ALT-DEL and
types his/her password and puts a check mark at "Log on using dial-up
connection".

What am I doing wrong?
The VPN authentication seem to work but when the user tries to access
anything on the network he/she is asked for a username and password. When
the user types in his/her UN and PW the following message appears:
Logon unsuccessful:
The user name you typed is the same as the username you logged in with.
That user name has already been tried.
A domain controller cannot be found to verify that user name.


I have edited the lmhosts file but this doesn't seem to do the trick. The
system keeps asking for a UN/PW.

Lmhosts:
192.168.1.252	sbb00	#PRE	#DOM:SETNORBYER
192.168.1.252	"SETNORBYER     \0x1b"

Nbtstat -c shows:
SBIR VPN:
Node IpAddress: [192.168.1.201] Scope Ib: []
  
    NetBIOS Remote Cache Name Table

SBB00      <20> UNIQUE 192.168.1.252 -1 
SETNORBYER <1C> GROUP  192.168.1.252 -1

Any help is really appreciated,
