   SSH Sentinel 1.3 / DNS

   Hello!   
      
   I'm using SSH Sentinel 1.3 to connect to my Netgear FVS318. The SSH runs   
   on a laptop under Windows XP SP1 with configured DNS (via DHCP). The VPN   
   works fine.   
      
   Now I detected that the laptop about every minute tries to make a DNS   
   request to get the IP of the target VPN gateway (a dyndns.org hostname)   
   although no VPN connection is initialized or requested. Only the SSH   
   service and the SSH monitor service are running in the background (this   
   is standard after installation).   
      
   This issue is not serious if the laptop is directly connected to the   
   LAN, but when "on the road" this results in a dialin connection if the   
   modem / ISDN is connected.   
      
   What can I do to suppress these DNS requests?
