RE: [ActiveDir] DNS settings

Carlos seems to always run into the *interesting* stuff :)   I'm late to the party, sorry; but let me ask you this:   you said: 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....     Do the users dial up to their ISPs FIRST and then VPN to your network? Or are these users on your network and then dial into their ISPs to get out  to the internet? I'm sorry if you've answered this before, I just didn't see it and the scenario you are describing is not clear to me.   Let's assume that the first part of the question is correct, then IF you create a regular MS VPN client (using the "create new network connection" wizard or whatever it's called), and use that to VPN into your network AFTER establishing connection to your ISP, do you still see this problem? If you do, what happens IF you disconnect VPN and just try to surf the Internet from your ISP connection?   Also, what happens if you do tracert/pathping in both scenarios?   What happens if you modify the MS VPN client you created above and uncheck the option to use the "default Gateway on the Remote Network" - this is under the TCP/IP ->Advanced option?   Again, if you have answered these before, excuse my asking again. I just have never seen the problem you are describing - and I have a lot of traveling users I baby-sit daily.     Sincerely, Dèjì Akómöláfé, MCSE MCSA MCP+I Microsoft MVP - Directory Services www.readymaids.com - we know IT www.akomolafe.com Do you now realize that Today is the Tomorrow you were worried about Yesterday?  -anon 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.
