Problems with establishing wireless connection and VPN connection before log on to daomain

Hello and thanks for all the tips i can get.

Want to do the following:

Log on to my computer using a domain user and pwd.

I have added the user in my computer -> properties -> computer name ->
Network ID

Everything checks out fine. I then log of and try to log on with the
domain, userID and pwd.

The computer doesnt get the connection with the domain and i get a
message something like "domain is not sccessable" .

I cannot use the dial-up before connecting becuase the VPN and wirless
connection doesnt pop up as an alternative.

I think the solution is to make the wireless internet connection and
VPN active before log on.

How do i do this.

I Use Windows XP proffessional edition SP2. And my network card,
ethernet port, doesnt work, broken and dell wont fix it....

Thanks for all the tips.

You don't need to join the domain to access the domain resources. I would logon locally and establish the VPN using domain username to access the domain network.

Running the VPN before logon is not easy. You may try to create VPN as a service. This link may help,
