Re: Off Topic - Windows XP Dialup connection

Actually unless you have XP Professional you cant join a domain it is one the the things that differentiate HOME from Professional

You're right - this is off topic and doesn't belong on this list at all.  Please take your quest for XP configuration  information elsewhere....

Any suggestions?

mmm...get rid of winxp for starters ;)

I'm not positive, but with win2k, which may or may not be like xp, there should be some options on a dialup connection to join your domain and/or run your logon script. Just hunt around in the dial up properties. Right click your connection and view the properties. under the options tab in win2k is a check box to logon to windows domain.

Gee and I thought they made XP based on years of usability research to make things easier...go figure.
