login on with network cable disconnected
I have a couple of Windows XP users (SP2) that can't logon to the network when the network cable is conected to their laptops. If they disconnect the network cable before they attempt to logon, then they can logon and after they get to the desktop, they connect the cable and do their work.
I can't figure out why they can't logon to the the network unless they first go through this process of disconnecting the network cable; can anyone help with this?
Thanks,
Nelson Aguillon

You say”can't logon to the network” but it sounds more like local login in both case,
Make shore computer is member in a workgroup not a domain.
Is there a server in you network, you say “couple of XP users” is this local users or couple of computer, do you use login prompt or auto login.

A shot in the dark: I suppose it's an authentication problem with the domain controller, but some more information about the network and the error messages will help a lot to troubleshoot your problem.
