Domain Name Resolution

It might be this, basically, when you're not connected to your VPN your laptop or whatever can't work out the IP address of the server its meant to be connecting to just using its name.

Is there another machine you can try it from that never connects to the University network via VPN or LAN, that'd tell us if it was a problem with your laptop or the System you are connecting to. Has anybody else in your dept had similar problems ?
