Nope that's what gets me, and its happening to ALL the laptops, (they are the only machines using third party dialers) AGRRR - there must be an answer :P CM _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Charlie Kaiser Sent: Monday, May 10, 2004 8:30 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] DNS settings Is there any hard coding of DNS settings on the laptop's network connection properties? This will override any server-assigned DNS settings... ********************** Charlie Kaiser MCSE, CCNA Systems Engineer Essex Credit / Brickwalk 510 595 5083 ********************** -----Original Message----- From: Carlos Magalhaes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 10, 2004 11:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] DNS settings Hey Al, Yeah all the settings are suppose to be set via the ISP , most ISP's run DHCP so yes the settings should be set. The weird thing is that only the DNS settings are being forced to our network, the user gets a valid third party IP address and default gateway, just not a DNS setting, that's what made me think it might be something on our network. We done run WINS just DNS. Thank you and Keep well!

Al _____ From: Carlos Magalhaes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 10, 2004 9:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] DNS settings Hey all, I have a weird issue; all our laptop users have their own third part dial up's (RRAS and RAS) for their convenience. When the users dial up to their third party ISP's (all users) they obtain an IP address from the ISP but their DNS settings are being forced to the networks internal DNS servers, remembering that this is a PPP connection. This causes havoc on their dial ups. I have had a look at the DNS settings the GPO and even the DHCP server. I don't see anything that would force a PPP connection to use the internal DNS servers. The settings are not hard coded into the PPP connections IP settings. Anyone have an idea of what this is or maybe I over looked something. Thanks! Carlos
