Hi Jim,

Actually, in the 2.2.x line, the devs are working on adding a pre-logon 
VPN connect option (I can't remember the exact term for it now), so that 
a user can connect to the VPN before trying to log on to the domain.  My 
guess is that code is probably very version specific, as I don't believe 
it's written for anything other than Win7, so maybe that's where the 
error is coming from?
