The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
1. your VPN server is not handing out to the client, the correct DNS server for your connection.
2. your VPN server is not handing out the proper search domain for DNS to the client.
3. your client is not part of the domain so it is not looking for the fully qualified domain or the search domain is not correct from number 2.

Subject: [PCTECH] VPN - why do I need IP address
All,
Ignorance question. When I use our VPN to "get to the office" from my home
or elsewhere, why do I have to use IP address (192.168.0.xxx) for RDP
instead of being able to use the server name?
Over the years we've been through 3 different VPNs and this has been true
of all of them. I have always thought that once I VPN'ed in, I was on the
LAN. Yet for RDP I always need to use IP address or it can't find the
server I want. Is it because the PC I am using remotely is not on the
office domain?
