Hi All,<br />
<br />
I am having a strange issue with a number of our Cisco VPN clients. &nbsp;The VPN clients connect into a Cisco ASA 5510 which is setup to send all traffic for clients via the company network. I.E no split tunnelling!<br />
<br />
This works fine for 90% of the clients but strangely the othe 10% are using their local DNS (rather than the company DNS servers) when connected. &nbsp;Consequently they cannot connect to any company servers etc by name - i.e intranet and mapped drives don't work.<br />
<br />
We have tried a number of versions of the VPN client including the latest and are not closer to a solution - does anyone know how to resolve this?!<br />
<br />
Many thanks<br />
<br />

Cisco VPN Client using wrong DNS server

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).
