Thanks for the info. I did read this and other articles at your site. Please
help me think through my understanding.
nslookup works properly when I am logged into the windows domain: Default
server nameofserver.nameofdomain.local, Address: 192.168.1.2
nslookup does not work correctly when I leave the domain. It still points to
the domain server on the windows domain, the ip address, but the name is
listed as unknown.
You diagnose the problem as the Reverse DNS is not set up correctly on the
windows domain. If it was set up corrrectly, my laptop would be able to get a
hold of the available DNS servers on the ISP outside of the domain.
I am correct in understanding your help? It seems counter-intuitiive to me
that a problem on the windows domain (where my laptop works fine) is
preventing my laptop working properly outside of the domain.
Thanks again for your help.

Hello, Thanks for the great suggestion. I was able to get out of the
domain
today and try this test. If you run nslookup, it says: can't find server
name
for address 192.168.1.2, no response from server, default server unknown
address 192.168.1.2.
192.168.1.2 is, of course, the ip address of the DNS server and DHCP
server
on our domain, the SBS 2003 server.
How do I get the laptop to use another name server?

gI work in a windows domain and connect via wireless on a Lenovo T6op
running
XPSP2. When at work, I have no problems. When I leave the domain, I
cannot
resolve names, I cannot browse or send email, Skype works.
Troubleshooting reveals that I can ping IPs and load websites that do
not
require name resolution. Ipsconfig shows that I have an assigned DNS
server
that I can ping. Overriding the DNS servers in the network adapter does
not
help.
Lastly, loging into my notebook as administrator does not fix the
problem.
Any help appreciated.
