We are getting closer to my problem. Our companys internal network is
192.168.10.0/24 and Dialup clients are assigned IP addresses 10.150.1.0/24.
All internal servers are assigned the same gateway IP and therefore should
route all incoming traffic back the right way. I can work with any server
and any service that is running on them via VPN. These include HTTP, RDP,
TELNET & SSH. No problems here.

The next thing I tested today was do browse network shares that are not
provided by our domain controller. These are the results:

\\<hostname>\d$ does not work -> Server cannot be found
\\<hostname>.collogia.de\d$ does not work -> Server cannot be found
\\<host-ip\d$ works perfectly

That means I can access network shares and services of any server that is
not our domain controller. So far I'm more than happy. It would be nice of
course if I can use hostnames instead of ip addresses. Sadly everything
goes wrong as soon as I try to connect to any service provided by our
Domain controller. This includes

- Connecting to the domain controller with RDP
- Connection to the domain controller with HTTP (3ware controller web access)
- Connection to the domain controller with Browsing shares

Nevertheless I was successful with a ping to our domain controller. Why
should this machine behave another way than all of our normal servers.

Any idea for further tests?

Best regards.

Markus
