Re: laptops connect at work but not at home?

i'll try to disable the DNS-related settings in the GPO and see what happens.
Even though the DNS Servers setting's explanation says, "If this setting is
not configured, it is not applied to any computers, and computers use their
local or DHCP-configured parameters."?

We were running W2K Server and ran into problems using GPMC from my XP box
so I abandoned its use. But now that server runs W2K3, so should be ok now I
think. So I'll try to run an RSOP and/or modeling report.

I suppose I could try this too.

You're right, they cannot ping from home, behind a Linksys router or
directly connected to cable modem. But they don't VPN in, so we can't test
that. There is no proxy or ISA in place.

To add to the mystery, one of the laptops that I've been messing with
concerning this issue has all of a sudden started working at home! Over the
weekend, the owner told me this - this was two days after I would have
changed anything. Is there a chance it was simply like a delayed applying of
settings? The owner said she'd only rebooted, but we'd been doing that along
the way already. Not to say this issue is totally resolved - there is at
least one laptop out there that cannot connect to the Internet when outside
this office, last I heard...
