Global Protect - Problem with name resolution DNS/WINS

L3 Networker

Dears,

 

We are facing a strange problem... sometimes external users connected via global protect cannot resolve names without the sufrix domain... 

 

Example:

\\NAMESERVER

or

http://netflow:8080

 

Strange behavior below: when we ping that name we see that it is not being resolved...

But when we do a nslookup we see the name resolution is OK

browsing problems

Usually user has to disconnect global protect and connect again until the problem is solved by itself...

 

 

sometimes disable and reenable the PANGP virtual network card solves the problem as well

Does anyone seen that problem before ?

Do you have the domain DNS (and WINS if you use this) setup with the domain name suffixes on your global protect settings.

Hello my friend!

 

thanks for your help.. I have already done that....

 

I am very confused about that behavoir where user can resolve at "nslookup" but cannot resolve when pinging

 

 

hi,

 

this is (to 99% sure) not a GP problem.

In the past (some years ago) we also had a simular problem. Its a client problem.
