Title: Message
Not a problem I might have overlooked something
and thank you for taking the time to help.
Ok
Yes we use DHCP.
No
Static IP addies.
Machines
are all different models and NICs
I
could disable the internal NIC why would that make a diff (just
trying to understand the logic?)

I take it that you also use DHCP in your
internal networks, i.e. you don't assign static IP'sto your internal
NIC's? As a test could you just disable the internal NIC and try the dialup
again?
Are all the machine exactly the same, i.e.
same model with same NIC's?
Sorry if I seem to be shooting all over
the place but we will home in eventually.

For some reason I thought you were using a
VPN to connect I'm an idiot and should have read the detail.
Can you humour me and justpost an
IPCONFIG /ALL dump from a troubled client.. just type local DNS in place of
your internal IP range if required.
Thanks,
Rob

Hey Robert,
Ok there is nothing wrong with the
internal DNS at all, they can resolve everything they want when logged onto the
network.
Their problem is when they go home and are
off the network they use their own third party ISP accounts with the default
windows dialer to create a 56k Dial up PPP connection to a third party ISP.
This is for their own email and internet usage. At this stage (when they dial
up) they are not connected to us in any way what so ever.
What I am finding strange is that the ISP
usually assigns them a valid IP, DNS and gateway from the ISPs DHCP
server. The weird thing here is that they are assigned a valid IP and gateway
but the DNS servers for that PPP connection is using our internal DNS server
address. Which causes a nightmare when they try to resolve names while
connected to the ISP.
As you can see the ISP can not resolve
names cause its trying to use the DNS settings of our internal network.
Thats what I dont get and I
dont get why its doing this either L
Thanks for your time.

Sorry I think I have lost track here
somewhere... I probably didn't read your problem correctly.
I would actually think that it is better
for them to resolve to your internal DNS servers. I have seen loads of issues
with people trying to get it to work the other way round. The only thing is
that do your internal DNS servers forward out? If they did then you would probably
be in an ok situation?
I'd still like to find out how your
machines are getting their DNS entries though?? Strange.

We havent and still dont use
WINS , this network only uses DNS.
The problem I am having is that the user
logged onto our network can work fine DNS is working etc. The user dialed up to
their own ISPs are being forced to our internal DNS servers, they still
get a valid IP addy from the ISP they just are forced to use
ours

It's either got to be WINS or Hosts files
while using the standard W2K VPN dial-up. I don't think WINS is a bad solution
to be honest unless you want to dig into your pocket.
If you use a 3rd party, i.e.
Checkpoint, then their technology allows for overlay of your DNS setting post
connection. I mentioned IPass earlier and they can do a similar thing with
their client, i.e. push on your internal DNS server post connection to an IPass
ISP
