You mean that the LAN has a PPtP VPN server, and you're out somewhere
connecting back to the LAN via a PPTP connection?
Precisely!
AFAIK, PPTP doesn't have the ability to send a domain name back to the
VPN client, thus NM can't find out what it should be.
I'm not sure how Windows works it out, but then I'm sure half of MS stuff
runs on voodoo :)
I'd say you
should set the "Searches" field in the connection editor, but it looks
like you can't do that and retain the automatic DNS servers at the same
time. I'll fix that.
Yes, that will work, I hadn't thought of that. It works for me as-is
because the address of the DNS server in the VPN is fixed anyway so I can
put that in manually. But a fix to allow "search" independent of DNS
acquisition would be good.
