DNS entry doesnt refresh

[Chandhru]

Hi,

This might be a repeated question. we have an offsite machine, and have an offsite DNS server (running in NT 4.0). the DNS entry (name and ipaddress) in the offsite DNS server are correct. I am able to get to the website whenever I am in offsite network.

In the office network. I have an Windows Server 2003, DNS. the previous administrator has entered the IP address wrong. I corrected the entry restarted the DNS server. deleted the cache and refreshed the server, updated server data files. still whenever I ping, it shows the previous Ip address. the corrected IP address doesnt show whenver I ping. I used nslookup it says the correct ipaddress for the name now. but still whenever I ping, I am getting errors. please correct me.

on the computer showing the wrong ip address, click start/run and type
CMD

hit OK

this will open a dos prompt, where you can type
ipconfig /flushdns

When this finishes, try pinging the computer again.

You may want to check for a hosts file with the incorrect address.
