I use a company laptop when on the road to VPN in via ISA 2006. I can
make the VPN connection fine, but when I try to RDP to my servers, I
have to use IP address. I cannot use the NetBIOS names. Now from my home
PC, I can with no problems.

During testing as to why, when I try to ping my server by netbios name
or the correct IP address, I always get a result of an IP address that
belongs to Tucows.com showing for every single host I try to ping on my
internal network.

Then I MANUALLY put the internal LAN DNS server IP addresses on the
TCP/IP settings of my Wireless NIC and try it again, and everything is
fine!

When I had the Wireless NIC TCP/IP DNS settings set to DHCP, I get the
problem. The IP Addr for my laptop is set to DHCP on the Wireless NIC
and never needs to change.

When I do IPCONFIG /ALL while IP and DNS settings on the Wireless NIC
are set to DHCP, show my DNS server IPs are correctly set to my internal
LAN DNS Server IPs, and I have a proper internal LAN IP address for my
laptop. But I continually get the error issue unless I manually change
my Wireless NIC DNS IP settings to the internal LAN DNS Server IPs.

Anyone know why this is happening? It is a consistent behaviour for all
our laptops that are joined to our domain, but not an issue for
computers NOT joined to the domain.

TIA,

-Tom Rogers
