Hi Liam,
Thank you for posting in SBS newsgroup.
From the description, I understand the issue to be: you want to let thelaptop can surf internet from home without going through SBS. If I have
misunderstood your concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know.
As I know, when a laptop which is set to obtain an IP address automatically
connects to your network, it should contact the SBS server for an IP
address (including DNS and other settings) and then it can browse the
internal network and Internet web sites. When the laptop disconnects from
the network cable, all IP configuration should be deleted by the system
automatically.
Currently, we can check the following configuration on laptop:
1. IE setting:
1) Open IE and then Click Internet Options on Tools menu.
2) Click Connections and then click LAN settings.
3) Check if you have selected Automatically detect settings.
4) Please do not use Proxy server to see how thing goes.
2. IP address and DNS settings:
1) Right click My Network Places and select Properties.
2) Open the properties of the Network Connection you are using to connect
to internet on home.
3) Select TCP/IP and then click Properties.
4) Have you specified the SBS as the DNS server?
5) Make sure you have selected Obtain an IP address automatically and
Obtain DNS server address automatically if you are obtaining the IP and DNS
from ISP automatically when you surf internet at home.
6) Click Advanced and then check if you have configured SBS on it.
If you do want release an IP address, you can use the following command:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
Hope it helps and I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Crina Li (MSFT)

| Greetings,
|
| I appreciate any insght into this unusual network case.
|
| SUMMARY
|
| When a client PC is physically removed from the domain it cannot access
the
| Internet unless the VPN software is running.
|
| SITUATION
|
| When users physically remove their PC's from our domain (they take them
home
| at night) they are unable to surf the Internet from home.
| The only way for them to connect to the Internet is to use the VPN client
| software.
| Once they are connected to our Domain, they can surf!
|
| HISTORY
|
| The domain has two locations 20 kilometres apart. They are connected with
a
| persistent VPN tunnel. For 10 months users can access resources at/from
both
| sides.
| Users have been able to go home and VPN into the network.
| Users were able to connect to the Internet from home without any trouble
and
| without using the VPN client software.
| A MS Server 2003 was installed at the remote site as a local data store.
| Since this has been installed, the users cannot connect to Internet
UNLESS
| the vpn software is running.
|
| SOME TEST RESULTS
|
| PING works from home.
| IPOCONFIG shows a local ip address (from a home router).
| NSLOOKUP always shows the IP address of the main SBS2003 server.
| Hence the need to connect via VPN to get on the Internet.
|
| QUESTION
| How do I get my clients to release the IP address of the main SBS2003
server
| so that they can surf the net from home?
|
| Thanks for helping,
|
| Liam
