I think I might not have been clear on the situation.
Before joining the domain (Computer Assigned to workgroup = Temp) The
Computer can use either the Wireless, Cell , or Network (Hardwired)
connections.
It doesn't matter. Workgroups don't depend on DNS to function so you just
do "see" the problem the same way,...that doesn't mean the problem isn't
there. Domains and Workgroups are "administration entities",..but I am
talking about network infrastructure,...two entirely different things.
The computer will use the DNS server that is supplied by any of............
the connection.
Nslookup uses the dns supplied by the connection for it settings.
when you are not connected to the Domain. This is the case even if you
look
at Ipconfig/all and see that the cell or wireless has correct dns settings
for that connection. Also if you type the ip address into ping or to the
IPConfig is mostly irrelevant here. IPConfig only shows you the config of
the Nics,...it does not show you nor signify *how* the OS makes use of those
settings nor how it makes its logical choices when things conflict (like two
conflicting DNS settings on two nics). When a machine has two nics you have
two choices for DNS,...1. Make the DNS Setting the same on both,...or 2.
Leave the DNS blank on one of them. By the nature of what you have you
cannot do either of those two
The bottom line is that you cannot have a machine on a LAN with an Ethernet
nic (wired or wireless) and at the same time enable and run a DHCP enabled
Cell Dialup card (and leave it up) and expect things to dependably work the
way they are supposed to. It just ain't gonna happen. The Cell Dialup Nic
is for running *only* when the machine is not connected to anything
else,...or it can be used *breifly* while on the LAN as long as a possible
LAN disruption with that one machine during the short period isn't a problem
and can be lived with.
