I have some users that come in a couple days of the week
with laptops running Windows 2000 Pro. We running NAT in
the office. They work fine in the office as a DHCP
client, but when they go home they cannot access any sub-
domain of the company's registered domain because Windows
hasn't release the DNS cache from using NAT in the
office. The only way to get things to work is to modify
the hosts file and reboot or manually clear the cache.
What's up with this? Users with Windows XP Pro don't
have any problems. Please help!
 
If they power off the system the DNS Client resolver cache will be released.
Could they have a local hosts file that has bad data in it?
