Configuration:
--------------
Server 1: Windows 2003 AD / DNS Integrated Native (DNS and DHCP only - NO
WINS)
Server 2: Windows 2003 VPN Server
(Both are part of domain XYZ.local)

When I am on the LAN - I can ping Server by hostname (not using FQDN) - ping
hostA = success

Problem:
---------
When I connect via VPN, I can not ping this same server by its hostname, but
I can ping by FQDN -
ping hostA=fail - ping hostA.XYZ.local = success

Question:
----------
CAN someone please explain how this works like this and how I can have same
functionality as LAN connected?
I want ping hostA=success even via VPN

Thank you.

Set up WINS and use it for your VPN connection, or use a hosts file on your
local computer.

Having a NATIVE AD Windows 2003 and XP as clients does not require WINS for
this...it has to be some other configuration withOUT WINS. Thanks.

Click on the properties of your VPN connection, select the Networking tab,
TCP/IP properties, Advanced Button, DNS tab, Select "Append these Suffixes
(in order)" Click Add, type in xyz.local, then OK your way out.

Yep, it works. As Kevin pointed out, if the ping by FQDN works, the DNS
lookup must work. So the problem has to be with the domain suffix setting
on the client. In other words, the client is asking the wrong question!
