Are these laptops running Windows95?

If they are, the following trick worked for me. Put a shortcut in startup that uses winset.exe to create an environment-variable. For instance RAS=YES. If someone uses ras he first starts up his pc and startup gets executed so the environmentvariable is present. When logging on to the network on the other hand the logonscript is run first so the variable isn't present yet.

The downside to this is that when you use close all programs and log on as another user the logonscript will mistakenly think there is a ras connection because the environment variable is still there.

Good Luck
