[PCTECH] vpn, client access, wins, netbios

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've discovered in Zone Alarm logs my pc sending dns to a server in England 
(194.168.6.213).
Turns out a client i connect with has an internal server with same 
address (they used a whole range of 194.168.x.x numbers and should not have - 
apparently they block the traffic getting "out"). I change my tcp properties to 
use my isp's dns and hours or days later my properties are somehow changed to 
the above 194.198 number. I also have WINS records pointing to other 
194.168.x.x .I think my client's WINS server is altering my pc??? 
Question: is WINS needed for Client Access or Cisco vpn, or anything i do, 
which, beside web surfing, is connect to various as400's via cisco vpn or in 
some cases with MS Terminal Servers.
No home network. Connected via cable modem.
