RE: Integrating Domain and VPN Login

Ryan,

The "Log on using dial-up networking" checkbox is still therein Windows XP. It 
does allow you to connect to the VPN server and then authenticate to the domain 
without having existing profile/cached credentials.

Some more details about your problem would be good to know.
