It appears that in Vista, the DNS server(s) for a PPP connection are
always favored over those from other connection regardless of the
service provider order defined.

This can be verified by using the nslookup command without any
arguments and looking at the Default Server that is displayed.

This is different than XP.

Is there any way to change this?

I answered the same question on server networking. this is the copy.

This could be the binding order issue. This post may have more details.
Fixed: Vista VPN name resolution issue
However, we can't use the office servers using host name or FQDN. All
XP computers don't have this issue. All XP and Vista clients use the same
VPN client ...

I messed up posting to that group and tried to cancel, but most servers
don't honor cancel requests. Sorry for the noise.

Thanks!

By modifying the order of the values of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Linkage\Bind,
I got what I wanted.

Apparently, I spoke too soon.

While the "Default Server" displayed by the nslookup command
immediately changed as did the order of adapters in ipconfig output,
no TCP/IP clients (e.g. Thunderbird, Firefox, telnet, etc.) recognized
the change. Even after an ipconfig /flushdns and restarting the
client.

I thought maybe a reboot was needed, but when I did that, the Linkage
\Bind order went back to what it was previously.

So I am now back to square one and need to find a way to have Vista
not prioritize a PPP DNS server over one from a ethernet or wireless
connection.
