Unfortunately, when connected to the network (by the NIC) and using a
dialup, the dialup will take precedence. This is also a huge issue with
transport mode (client) VPNs and Active Directory.

The preferred and recommended method to overcome this by specifying in the
machine's HOSTS file with the necessary name and IP, sine it checks the
HOSTS file first.
