When nslookup (your DNS server) disagrees with ping (your local box), it sounds like a host file configuration somewhere. Did you setup a static host entry for testing at one time and leave it on this one machine?

Pinging the site from other machines on the same network and outside of the network shows the website at the correct address. Running nslookup on the problem machine and any other machine on the network shows the correct address. But pinging the site, or browsing to the website on the problem machine shows the old address switched away from months ago. I've tried flushing the DNS, cleaning browser caches, creating new user profiles, etc. I've tried enabling only the DC as the name server with no secondary, then reflushing... I can't find where the old IP is being resolved from. When the site was first moved, we had this problem with just the wireless clients (which this is) but it cleared itself out in a couple days before I had a chance to really look into it. It appears there is one machine left still that can't get it right. ipconfig shows the same info as any other workstation wired or wireless. Any suggestions? -- Mike Gill ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
