I have a Dell laptop that is using netscreen remote to authenticate to the user's VPN. When logging into the laptop using their cached domain logon, using a wired connection authenticates and the VPN can be accessed. However, when wireless only is used, a logon prompt comes up asking for credentials and when entered, the domain controller cannot be found. If I login to a local laptop profile, then connect VPN via wireless, the credentials can be entered and the VPN is authenticated. Help!

It seems like (Using WIFI) you cannot logon and verify at the Windows logon screen.

Since the problem is with the wireless connection check that the WLAN card has established a connection before you try to VPN trough the Windows logon screen. Youre WIFI card may not have yet established a connection at that time, only when you logon locally.

I not to familiar with the netscreen program but, I hope this helps.

You can also try hard coding your networks DNS and WINS. This should help with domain authentication.
