Hi Chuck!
Once you're VPN'ed in to your network, DHCP should assign your DNS
servers for you provided that it has been configured to do so for your
VPN connection.
If you have any DNS IP addresses manually entered into your TCP/IP
settings then these will override anything you get from DHCP.
If you don't have anything entered for DNS servers then your VPN
connection is probably not providing you the needed DNS IP addresses.
Try entering them manually. You can create a "location" so that you can
switch between your work connection and regular Internet connection.
Hope this helps! bill
