DNS suffix in the client's connection properties

[Miha]

Hi

We have just implemented VPN RRAS server. Now I'm using CMAK to create VPN
connections for client computers, but having problems to set 'DNS suffix
for client's'.
In CMAK section 'Realm name' I have selected 'add a realm name to the user
name' and set to 'suffix' and then entered realm name for our local domain
(work.si).
But It's strange, becasue after installing CMAK profile on client computer
under 'DNS suffix' is nothing?? Am I doing someting wrong or what?

All help will be appreciated
Regards
Miha

You should be setting the DnsSuffix key to the required value. The realm
name is not for this purpose. Also, note that the DnsSuffix key can be
separately configured for all the security settings for a connection. For
example, if I am creating a VPN profile with multiple destinations [vpnlist]
and each with a separate security setting, you would required to put
DnsSuffix only on the security setting you want to. Same applies for dialup
as well.

This setting is under [TCP/IP & entryname] section for the profile. CMAK
help file should be useful.

Thank's for help. But after setting DnsSuffix (under advance -> TCP/IP &
entryname in CMAK settings) to value of our domain (domain.si) it's still
the same.
On client computer under 'dns setting' for VPN connection there is nothing,
I also can't access company server without using suffix (server.domain.si)
Am I doing something wrong or what?
