http://www.ISAserver.org ------------------------------------------------------- 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.
