We have a small Windows network:

   2 computers - Windows 2000 Pro - Ethernet connections.

   2 computers - Windows XP Pro - wireless connections.

   2 HP LaserJet printers - HP JetDirect connections.

The W2000 computers ask for the network login upon startup.  The XP
computers do not connect to the network until we try to access a network
folder - we have to go through the tedious "My Network Places / Entire
Network / ..." drill to get a netork login window.

I thought perhaps connecting the XP computers using an ethernet connection
would help.  Tried it, but no dice - same results.   I also mapped network
drives, but still have to go through the "My Network Places / Entire Network
/ ..." business to get the network login.

Is there a way to have the XP computers connect to the network upon startup?
