If you only have the one machine, just add the appropriate entry to
the hosts file.

I have  a host(a) record called 'report' that points to an internal IP
address corresponding to the intranet server. Server software is Windows
Server 2003. The web browser on the thin client (Win Xpe) points to
http://report and that occasionally sends them to the public website.

Hi Billy,

Are the two sites pointing to the same IP address or different ones? The
first thing you need to narrow down is whether the problem is a DNS issue, a
web server issue, or a thin client issue.  What type of server software are
the two sites on?  Are they assigned to specific IP addresses, or also using
the domain header included in the HTTP request?

What are the respective URLs?
Are they different domains?  Is one just a sub-domain?

 I have an intranet server named 'report' that serves up an app to a
 touchscreen thin client. Every now and then a user on the thin client
will
 put in the address for the intranet app, but get our public website
instead.
 I have them restart the thin client and then all is well. I'm assuming
this
 is a DNS issue, but I haven't been able to track down the root cause.
