RE: Client Access names instead of IP numbers?

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

I agree with Chris.  We actually have a plan to change the IP numbers of 
all of our host i's.  So, it's much better to use DNS.  I do this over 
VPN.

I do have one issue with my VPN client (I've been told that my version is 
rather dated and I should upgrade).  The issue is that it sometimes does 
not use the DNS of the VPN network I am connecting to.  At that time, 
(after connecting via VPN), I go into Microsoft Services and stop, then 
start, the DNS Client.  This issue was affecting other stuff also, like 
Domino servers, etc.  I have the Services shortcut icon right next to the 
VPN client shortcut icon on my desktop.

A former senior executive was having this issue with vpn.  At that time I 
didn't have this trick figured out.  Problem resolution was to give the 
executive the opportunity to retire.  Remember:  The squeaky wheel gets 
replaced.
