Remote Access

Hello experts:

Got a problem that has recently started. We recently setup Routing and Remote Access so I could dialup to our server from home. I receive an address via dhcp. When I ping the server from home, the ip address is 192.168.1.115.

The problem is, when I connect back to the network in the office, and try to ping server, it still displays 192.168.1.115, instead of its local ip address 192.168.1.90.

I've used nbtstat -RR and -R to clear the cache and reload netbios name servers, but still seem to have the problem. The server is Windows 2000 Server running AD.

How can I resolve this problem?

Thanks

I'll give it a whirl the next time I run into this issue and grade accordingly

Well, I assume that when you go form home to teh office you shutdown your PC, so all teh DNS and WINS cache should be already flushed! make sure you don't have any entrees in the hosts or LMHosts files. Also, why does the server have 2 IP addresses on the same network? and is the server registering both IP's with the WINS or DNS servers?

When I dial into the server, RRAS is assigning address to the remote laptop and the dialup connection. I have not seen any remnants in the WINS database to correspond to this ip address (192.168.1.115)

LMHosts and Hosts files are clean...

I haven't had the problem in over a week, so haven't been able to try out any solution yet.
