a very confused and tough VPN problem
----------
I am getting problems in setting up our VPN between
our headquarter office and branch office.

The current situation is as the following:

(0)I need to join our branch office LAN to our headquarter office LAN using VPN. Our headquarter LAN domain is "ABC.ORG", it's based on Windows 2000 Server and active directoried.

(1) Our ISP (we use ADSL Internet access) has already created
VPN tunnel between our Netscreen 5XP Elite firewalls between our headquarter and branch usnig L2TP.

(2) We also have a website host by
another company, so they hold the
"www.ABC.org" name and our website, this website has a public IP address (A1.B1.C1.D1)


(3)Our haedquarter site network server is a primary domain controller
(ABC.ORG), it's running an Exchange server 2000 (Windows 2000 Server) as well.
This server has a mapping public IP address (A2.B2.C2.D2)

(4) The problem is: when I at branch trying to
connect to quarter site PDC, it automatically goes to
the public domain name (A1.B1.C1.D1) which is our website's address
and defenitely it doesn't work although the VPN tunnel
is ready there.

(?) How can I make our branch LAN could find our headquarter domain (A2.B2.C2.D2) and connect it through VPN?

help really appreciate

which domain?
----------
Which domain, are you trying to login to? the windows domain? or the fully qualified domain? Would you happen to be using public dns? I could see this happening if you were using some ISP dns. If you were to switch the dns, to something in-house, what that have a different or better effect?

lemme know, 2 heads are better than one ;)

Chris.
