Question with VPN using WinXP as client

[D1vine]

I have a VPN to my corporate network, and I use WindowsXP as my operating system, and VPN client.

In Win2k, when logging into your machine, you used to be able to login with a "dialup connection" or a VPN connection that would automatically connect when logging in under a specific user.
I don't see that on my machine and I can't seem to find where it would be.

I've looked through the help files, gpedit.msc, mmc.exe, and a few other places (including as simple as the control panel) but i can't find it. Does it not exist in WinXP or what??

Looking for some help from the always helpful AT community, as i'm at my wits end here

Windows XP has its own setup utility for this. I have successfully set this up. I'm not at my home machine so I can give you some hints on where to go until I get home at 3pm today, then I can tell you exactly.

Network connections. Click on Icon to setup network. there is a path in there to setup a vpn connection. I will update this today just thought I would piont you in the right direction. sorry to post without details.

Thats cool.
I've actually already setup and am online with the VPN connection.

I just wish i could get it to connect automatically when logging in under a certain username (my local machine user profile). I used to be able to do this with Win2k. When you went to login to your machine, you could set the options to login "using a connection (that you selected)."
