On windows 2k professional/server, i am setting pptp
connections with DHCP. How do i force windows to resolve
with the DNS servers given by the PPTP server first ?

I've heard of "adapter preference" but do not know how to
set it.
 
Hi,

You could add your PPTP DNS servers to the TCPIP properties of your network
card.

Thanks,

If your vpn clients are WinXP then check KB article
Q311218. This causes XP to "prefer" the VPN connection
over the LAN connection for location network resources,
and therefore it attempts to use the DNS servers of the
pptp connection first. Of course, when the pptp
connection is not active, the LAN connection is used.
