W2KPRO - DNS Dial-up problem

Hi,

I'm working with a W2KPRO workstation connected to an intranet with
W2KServer. The server is running DNS to resolve external addresses, for
example it resolves the address conexion.bital.com.mx with 200.16.50.21. One
of my aplications need to connect to another network using dial-up (I'm
still conected to the intranet by the network card). When I'm connected to
the other network, conexion.bital.com.mx should be resolved with
172.25.225.4, using a DNS server wich should be assigned by the dial-up
conection. But it doesn't work. Using nslookup I can see that my intranet
server is still the primary DNS server and it resolves the name with the
wrong direction.

Is there any way to tell W2KPRO which DNS server to use?

By the way, I have the same probleme with WIN98 clients.

Unfortunately, when connected to the network (by the NIC) and using a
dialup, the dialup will take precedence. This is also a huge issue with
transport mode (client) VPNs and Active Directory.

The preferred and recommended method to overcome this by specifying in the
machine's HOSTS file with the necessary name and IP, sine it checks the
HOSTS file first.

After a failed attempt at installing a Linksys PC MIA
802.11B/G wireless card, I uninstalled and removed program.

Since then, my network adapters (Accton N2242) are not
functioning properly, even after uninstalling and
reinstalling.

In command prompt, I get strange error messages when
trying to ipconfig /release. Along the lines of

DHCP bindings, not allowing me to release, items that
we're trying to reach are not a socket
