Determining method of DNS resolution

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

We have several i5 based servers, Domino and otherwise.  Sometimes at 
home, when using the Cisco based VPN client I cannot connect to a portion 
of them.  I do NOT have any host table entries on my laptop.  If I ping 
them by address they work fine.  It's just the "by name" that's not 
getting resolved.  How I can resolve SOME of them is, after I've connected 
with my VPN client I enter a 
ipconfig  /flushdns
at a DOS command prompt.  Yet there are still other names that will not 
resolve.  It was suggested that I append my work domain to the name I am 
pinging.  For example, instead of pinging  GDISYS I should ping 
GDISYS.domain.  If that works then I should open all files, etc, using 
that qualified name.

It was also suggested that I update my VPN client.
