Recently we switched ISPs, and I think I did everything right, and ran CEICW and what-not. But I cannot access companyweb when connected to the VPN. I can access it by https://FQDN:444/default.aspx. When I ping from the server I get:
 
C:\>ping -n 1 companyweb
Pinging bptc-server.BioProcessConsultants.local 𖐸.168.0.250] with 32 bytes of  data:
Reply from 192.168.0.250: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
 
but if I ping from a machine connected by VPN:
 
C:\>ping -n 1 companyweb
Pinging companyweb.BioProcessConsultants.local ⏋.251.179.13] with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
 
I have no ideq where it's getting that wacky IP address!

I actually have two ways of VPN'ing in; the SBS 2003 R&RA VPN from the XP client, and a Fortinet VPN managed by the router; the above is with the latter connected. The former exhibits the same behavior. Sure looks like something in DNS is broke, but I can't find what's wrong. The lack of default gateways seems a little funny, but I doubt that's the problem. Help??
