I have dialup connection to RAS... all looks good except if I try to ping any resources on the network using ping server_name get nothing... but if I use ping server_name.domain_name.com I get respond.. why?

You need to configure the DNS suffixes in the TCP/IP properties.

Go to "Network Connections" folder
Right click on the Ras Dialup connection
Select Properties
Go to Networking tab
Select TCP/IP Protocol
Click Properties
Click Advanced...
Goto DNS tab
Select "Append these DNS suffixes"
Add "domainname.com" here

Now you should be able to reach the server with the servername only.
