RE: LMHOSTS file

Rick,

Normally, when you VPN into the network you should get the DNS and
possibly WINS servers assigned automatically.

After connecting, can you ping any server on your corporate network?

If not, you'd want to check with your network folks to determine why the
VPN server isn't properly setup.

HTH,

Charles Wilt
