[FW1] Secure remote WINS/DNS DHCP issue (NT4)

["Phil Gaskell" <Phil_Gaskell@FW1-NOSPAMveritasdgc.co.uk>]

Hi Gurus,

I have come across a problem that is a real show stopper.......
If a user has been logged onto a network at work, (site a), with DHCP then logs
onto the Internet at home for example.
Then if that user wants to access a DIFFERENT site, (site b), via secure remote
then they have problems.

The issue is that the DHCP DNS, WINS and domain settings for site a is held in
the registry and NOT released by an ipconfig /release.
This means that the DNS and WINS servers used are the DHCP defined servers
rather than the DNS servers
defined within dnsinfo.C or in the dialer software.
The symptoms are that drives can only be mapped by IP address and nslookup takes
a timeout.

Is there any clean way I can get around this, I know I can probably just hack
the registry, but this is not
what I want users to be doing!

Thanks for any help.

Phil
