Windows 2003 Server R2-DHCP strange

[bgreg]

I was setting up new server in a small environment and domain controller has
2 nic setup for internet access.

Inside card set to:IP 192.168.01
SM 255.255.255.0
D/G none
DNS 192.168.01
Outside card set to: ip 10.10.10.11
SM 255.255.255.0
D/G 10.10.10.1 Linksys Router
DNS 4.2.2.2 (public DNS server)
DHCP Range 192.168.0.10-192.168.0.254 DHCP- Server01.office.local

NAT - Internal connection 192.168.0.1 and automatically assign addresses
192.168.0.10-192.168.0.254
External connection 10.10.10.11

The strange thing that happens is after activating RRAS the DHCP server
becomes
server01.mshome.net. I disabled RRAS and dhcp server returned to
server01.office.local.

ipconfig /all from client machine reveals:
host name pcname
primary dns suffix office.local
node type hybrid
ip routing enabled No
win proxy enabled No
DNS suffix search list office.local
mshome.net
upon ipconfig /release and /renew mshome.net becomes office.local

DHCP seems to work correctly with internet access and client getting IP
address.
Has anyone seen this? Any recommendations?

Hello bgreg,

Is the server SBS version? If not then reconfigure your network to prevent
you from lot's of problems. Multihoming domain controllers is a really bad
solution.
Connect all computers to a switch and the switch to the router, then configure
the DNS server to use FORWARDER under the server properties in the DNS server
management console, here set the ISP's DNS server. Use the Linksys router
only for routing not for DHCP or DNS, this should do the DC.

Best regards
