Yeah, I thought about that, but the server (aspen) is both in WINS and in DNS. ping works fine (specify the netbios name, returns the DNS). The script makes six attempts, so I'm certain it has long enough. There are no failures in the security log (and the accesses are logged as success).

You don't need a proxy to accomplish that - point your clients (typically via DHCP) to your internal DNS, and have your internal DNS forward to your ISP. Never point your clients directly to your ISP. Having said that, I thought the gist of the problem was specifically for laptop users when they

True enough, you could use DNS forwarding as well, but I tend to perfer having a proxy server in place as it also lets you have some control over your users internet traffic and allows you more flexibilty with DNS if you don't use your ISP for your external DNS. Phil -Original Message-
