#SHREW SOFT VPN DNS PROBLEM DRIVERS#
Out to the Dell site to download latest drivers and BIOS updates. Go back to my Windows 7 boot, no DNS on wireless. I have a Windows 2008 R2 vhd on my machine so I boot to it this morning - the wireless works. Tried multiple wireless connections from multiple organizations with different ISPs - same results. Wired ALWAYS works, wireless never works. Manually configuring DNS servers and DHCP assigned servers have same results. I can ping my local DNS server and my ISP's DNS server. To repeat what others have said, just so there are no misunderstandings: DNS lookups fail, can connect via browser to Google using IP address. I'll add a third instance of this problem. Just trying to avoid rekicking the system and migrating a lot of data, plus installation of apps that are not part of the standard image. I've pretty much tried all the suggestions prior and no luck. Not sure what his setup at home is, but it does the same.
One uses PEAP and RSA token, one uses WPA2 Enterprise linked to their domain SSO, and the last uses a PSK generated by the Aruba system for time-based guest access. Also, the security method is different on each wireless network. We have three different wireless networks on the Aruba system each using different VLANs for different layers of access and this unit will not work on any of the three. The firewall on the laptop is disabled by group policies on the domain also. It works fine for almost 300 other users in the office, so it is machine specific. Wired connection is to a Cisco 3560 linked to a Cisco 4948 before the firewalls. Not a router issue as this is a corporate network.Cisco ASA 5520 firewalls and Aruba 3000 wireless system.
