I just installed DSL in my hove. I am configuring the VPN to dial into my company network. I log into my PC with the same LOGin name,Password & server name, as at work. I connect just fine can access my server, but the login script doesn't run so mynetwork are not automatically mapped. How can I get the the domain to request me to login so the login script runs?

Hi!

Are you using same OS at home as at work ?
If not then the login script that server try to run for you is probably a .cmd file which Win95/98/ME dosen't understand.

If this isn't the case try to map the share for the login scripts and runit manually to see what happens.

This will give information so you can troubleshoot the problem better.

98 at home & NT40 at work. I can access my resources manually. The login script just won't run automatically when I connect.

My guess is you're running Win 95 and not NT workstation. Your net admins may need to add a copy of the login script to the Winnt\System32\RAS folders on your company domain controllers (This is not where it is normally located). Another option is to log on to the network from home. Go to the \\domainserver\netlogon share. You will find a copy of the login script inside the folder. Copy it to the startup folder on your PC. It will run whenever you login and map your drives.

This procedure has worked well for standard dialup & DSL to access my resources manually.

but may login script still won't work after connecting.

If NT or W2k, you'll need to "Log in using DUN" to have your scripts run. If you're running Win9x, be sure your DUN settting is checked for "Log on to Network".

If you are still tackling this problem, perhaps you should consider calling your local super-hero.
