I am a remote user, I dial from home into my server at work. I connect to an ISP, after connecting succesfully, i then use a VPN connection to connect to my server. Once connected i try to join to a DOMAIN and i enter my domain name but it never finds my domain. How can i join my domain succesfully being connected remotely?. I am able to succesfully connect to my server but when i try to join the domain, it never finds the domain. HELP!!

See your network administrator and make sure you are authorized to log in through dial-up, ensure your domain name is correct, and last but not least make sure the "office" end of the VPN is set to receive you.
Just a guess here. If your computer at home can dial in with VPN, but can't find your domain to add itself to, maybe you need a DNS number from within your office. Your computer could be using the DNS from your ISP, which wouldn't have a listing for your domain.
Check with your network administrator to ensure yu still belong to the domain. If so they may need to recreate your machines profile inside the domain you are after. This should give you access to your domain.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
