Connecting VPN via log on connection

[Pat Bradley]

I need to authenticate users to the domain using the log
on via dial-up connection option. I have set up dial up
to ISP connections and VPN's. I have set the VPN
connection to invoke the ISP dial up connection first.
The VPN connection works perfectly when it is initiated
from the icon in 'My Network Places' Properties

However when I try to use log on via dial-up connection
and choose the VPN as the connection, the dial up to ISP
connection attempts to authenticate to the ISP using the
users, user name and password, not the saved ISP username
and password and therefore fails to connect.

Has anybody come across this problem before? If so I
would be grateful for your assistance.

Set up the connection to the ISP with the correct username and
password. Then clear the "prompt for username" and "prompt for phone
number" check boxes in that connection's properties.

The connection will then do a "silent dialout" using the stored
username, password and phone number, then prompt for the VPN credentials for
the second connection..

I have set the connection to the ISP with the options set
to not prompt for a username or password or a phone
number, however when I invoke the VPN the ISP connection
fails with a message ' Your credentials have failed
remote authentication'. I then checked the option to
prompt for a username in order to see what name it was
trying to authenticate with and found that it was the
user log on name not the stored ISP logon. I think this
is something simple, but just cannot see what it might be.

That is a different matter. I did not suggest that you prevent the
prompt for username on the VPN connection, only on the dialup to ISP. They
are two different connections with different properties.
