Re: Laptops on my domain unable to use DNS when outside

Yes, one of the users has used the laptop to connect to his gateway
(linksys home router) and retrieve settings for me. The gateway also
functions as his DNS server (this setting works fine for his other 3
home machines). I've had him manually enter the DNS servers of his
broadband provider (adelphia) to no effect.

I have users (the president of the company is one) who use docked Win
XP Pro Dell laptops as their work machines, and then take those
machines home at night (and, presumably, on business trips and the
like). The problem that I'm having is that when they go home with these
machines and hook them up to their home networks, they're unable to
resolve hostnames via DNS. They can get IP's, and all DHCP information
is being received (including DNS servers, etc), they're able to ping IP
addresses (even our website's IP), but cannot type in "www.google.com"
and get the URL resolved.
The machines are joined to our domain, and users are signing on with
their domain accounts (even when at home). I've checked GPO, and no
group policy is being defined for DNS servers, or any DNS property.
Note: I've taken one of these machines, and while at the office, dialed
into Earthlink. The same thing happened. ipconfig /all shows that
they're getting an IP, DNS server IP's, etc.. but not resolving
hostnames.
Note: this DOES NOT happen with Win2K Pro machines with identical
configurations!
Any help would be very appreciated.
