and if i put server name after connecting to VPN, server name is not resolved to IP.

i am using windows7 Ultimate.

If you open up a command prompt(start menu, cmd) and try to ping the server by name you'll probably find you aren't resolving the address properly when VPN'd.

That is a name resolution problem, not a VPN problem.

The name resolution issue is something your VPN administrator should fix, but you can force your computer to resolve correctly by adding an entry in your HOSTS file located at %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS . You can edit it with notepad.

#Entry would look like
1.2.3.4 servername
