DUN Headache! (Windows XP SP2)

Hello,

I am trying to streamline our dial-up clients by intergrating our VPN
solution with the "Log on using Dial-Up connection" option. I have
successfully managed this except one really annoying problem. When I
enter my login details and tick the box to log on through a dial-up
connection, Windows prefills my Dial-up connections username and
password with my Windows log on credentials. Is there any way of
forcing Windows to use the correct username and password?

Any suggestions welcome!

Thanks,
Jay Allen

Hi Al

Thanks for your suggestion but I am really trying to move away from
using batch files if possible.

Thanks,

Jay
