I have a 2003 network in a 2 server network, 1 DC and 1 TS. We are
using AD, DHCP and DNS. Inside the network computers are able to
connect to the internet and access all files and folders with no
issues. When users leave the network and try and connect to the
internet from home or hotel room they are unable to connect to the
internet. They are able to connect to our TS server using remote
desktop connection and are able to connect to our network via VPN,
but can not connect to the internet. although once they connect to
our network they can access the internet, they login there laptops
to
there domain account with no delay. My gut is telling me it is a
DNS issue, but I do not know how to resolve this. Thanks for the
help and let me know if any additional info is needed

Check the group policy here:
Computer Configuration
-Administrative templates
-Network
-DNS client
-DNS servers If it is enabled, and has the
Addresses of your DCs you must disable the policy on your mobile
clients.

The easiest way to to create a separate GPO for the mobile clients
with this policy disabled. You'll have to disable the policy so it
will get applied, if you just change it to not configured, it leaves
the policy in place.

Hope This Helps


I tried this and it did not work. On the server side this setting was
there, so I changed it onthe laptop disabled it and rebooted still no
go. ANy other help would be very much appriciated I am dead in the
water

You must have missed something, I don't get this statement: "so I changed it
onthe laptop disabled it"
Disable the policy, run gpupdate on the laptop. Use Tools in Help and
support, Advanced system information, View group policy settings applied,
Near the bottom, click "Run the Resultant Set of Policy tool"
