Possible to get OpenDNS to dereference Host on VPN?

I recently changed ISPs for my home internet. I am now having some trouble getting back into the corporate network from home over the VPN.

I have figured out the OpenDNS is resolving the Hosts on the VPN incorrectly when I am using TCP/IP.

When I browse to one of the hosts on corporate network, i.e. \host1, from the file manager this succeeds.

However, when I ping the host, i.e. ping host1, the IP address is resolving to the OpenDNS name server instead of the actual Host IP address.

Does anyone know how to make this work? On a hunch, I turned off type correction. But, this did not help.
