no networking available on 1st login

[Gilbert]

If I reboot my computer and login to Windows XP as soon
as the logon screen comes up, I have no network
capability. If I logoff and then log back on, it works
just fine. Any ideas?

What exactly does that mean?

I mean I can access the Internet, my LAN connection works
and I get the 2 computer screens in the right bottom
corner of the screen.

OK - but I meant, what happens when you *don't* get that? what do you see?
