Citrix messing up networking

[tshad]

I have a Citrix vpn client running on my machine.

Everything works fine for a short time, then I find that I can't see
anything on the internet with IE (or firefox or pinging from the console).

As soon as I close the client, everything works fine.

Does anyone know that is happening here?

Thanks,

Tom

What is really wierd is that I can seem to get to Google.com when I ping it
or look at it with IE.

But when I do Yahoo.com, sbc.com, alaskair.com I get this:
**************************************************************************
C:\Documents and Settings\toms>ping www.yahoo.com
Ping request could not find host www.yahoo.com. Please check the name and
try again.

C:\Documents and Settings\toms>ping www.sbc.com
Ping request could not find host www.sbc.com. Please check the name and try
again.

C:\Documents and Settings\toms>ping www.alaskaair.com
Ping request could not find host www.alaskaair.com. Please check the name
and try again.
************************************************************************

But when I try it after I close Citrix, I get:
**************************************************************
C:\Documents and Settings\toms>ping www.yahoo.com

Pinging www.yahoo-ht3.akadns.net [209.131.36.158] with 32 bytes of data:

C:\Documents and Settings\toms>ping www.sbc.com

Pinging www.sbc.com [144.160.103.79] with 32 bytes of data:

C:\Documents and Settings\toms>ping www.alaskaair.com

Pinging www.alaskaair.com [159.49.253.16] with 32 bytes of data:
***************************************************************

In the first example, It seems that it doesn't know the IP address and can't
get it. I assume it can't get to the dns servers.

The fact that Google works may be because its address is in the cache since
it happens to be my home page.

So what would Citrix be doing that would cause this. Remember that it
doesn't do this right away. Could be 10 or 15 minutes after running it.

Thanks,
