Not sure about this one. Do you have an overlap on your local subnet and 
the remote subnet you are trying to access?

Yes and no. You can't have the client login before you login to the 
computer to perform a remote domain login. But you can have it start up 
automatically when the user logs in. The ipsecc.exe program accepts the 
following parameters ...

ipsecc -r "name" [-u <name>][-p <pass>][-a]
   -r site configuration name
   -u connection user name
   -p connection user password
   -a auto connect

Hope this helps,
