Problem with DNS Configuration

[The Real McCoy]

Hello, I was hoping to get some help with DNS Configuration issues. I have tried rebooting my computer, I have reset the router a few times, and I have tried the command ipconfig/flushdns. None of these provided a solution and I am still unable to view any web page. I have also updated my wireless driver, but that did not work either.

I work from home and I am currently logged in remotely to my headquarters in Atlanta. I am fully connected so I know there is not a connection issue.

I get the following message when I diagnose and repair "There may be a problem with your Domain Name Server Configuration"

Does anybody have any other solutions I can try?

Thanks

Hello,

Please can you do an ipconfig /all and paste the results into the thread.

Can you ping google.com from the PC/Laptop? If so, check the proxy settings within internet options:

Click Start> Control Panel> Internet options> Connections Tab> LAN Settings. Make sure that Automatically detect settings is ticked and that there is nothing specified as the proxy server.

I would assume you are using a vpn connection to the corporate office?

Are you getting this dns error if when doing the vpn connection and you then try to browse the internet?

That's it! I just disconnected from VPN and tried to open firefox and it works fine. When I reconnected to VPN to log back in to my office comp, I can't open any websites from my personal comp. Any idea of how to fix this? Should I ask my IT dept?

This is the way a vpn client works.

If you have a connection to work and a connection to the internet you can infect your corporate network via your internet connection.

You should talk to your IT dept but you most likely will be told not to be on the internet when you are on the vpn.
