I have an XP laptop that I use both in the office and at home. In the
office, I log into our AD domain and at home I log into the laptop with
settings on my wireless card to allow me access to my home network. I have
had no problems up till this week and have made no changes to my laptop.
Suddenly, I can no longer access the internet at home from the laptop,
although I can access other components of my home network like shared drives
& printers, and all the other home computers can access the internet. As a
test, I changed the domain of the laptop to the home workgroup instead of the
work domain and it works fine.

I talked with the Domain Administrator at work, and the only change he made
was setting a group policy to use a specific DNS server for authenticated
users of the domain. I'm assuming that since my problem started when he made
this change, it's the root of my problem. I have tried releasing and
renewing the IP at home to no avail - the only thing that works is removing
it from the domain at home and then adding it back in when I get to work.
Which, as you can imagine, is tedious. Is there some way I can clear that
setting when I'm at home other than this?

Thanks. I had thought about trying it and I'll add that when I get home
tonight.
