On my home machine, I use Cisco VPN Client (4.0.4). When it connects, it torpedoes into my existing Lan adaptor and appends the DNS suffix of my office. This pours molasses on my ability to connect to my other machines at home, since they are not known to my office lan.
I have my local lan set to 'Append Primary and Connection specific...blah' and the 'Append parent...' unchecked.
This is fine when vpn is not connected. When it is, it changes that to the 'Append these DNS Suffixes in order'; and it has my office suffix.
Why? I only use one RDP connection to my office, and I will gladly manually append the suffix for that one, so that I can maintain the local connections, which are too numerous to manually do.
So bottom line--I can't find an option on the client for this. Is this a setting at my office? Is it global, ie, if I ask to have it changed for me will it change for everyone? Or is there a way to set up my local lan adaptor to say something like "Cisco, please stay the hell out of my settings"?
Thanks,
