RRAS clients not updating WINS / DNS

Hi,

In our company, we use laptops which use good-old dial-up networking to
connect to the main office. When connected, they run an application
which triggers a FTP session from a server to the client (yes, the
client is the FTP server).

The problem is, that whenever a user disconnects and reconnects, he
receives a new IP address from RRAS, but does not update his records in
DNS and WINS. This results in the server trying to reach an IP address
which is not online, and the user working with old data.

We use RRAS with a static pool, on the client all the DNS and WINS
settings are correctly displayed when i do a ipconfig /all, but its
still not working. I've allready ticked the box "register in DNS".

Does anyone have a clue what I'm doing wrong?

cheers,
Jaap de Koning
