DNS entry keeps getting the old DHCP lease info
I have a DNS entry that keeps coming back and I don't know where from. We had a server get a new motherboard put in and it picked up a dhcp address. We changed it back to a static address, but the dhcp address keeps popping back into the DNS. Any ideas? I've checked the only connection on the server and it is static with the right address.

what kind of OS is this?
ASKER
This is on a windows 2000 domain.
very odd, no other DHCP servers in the network?
ASKER
Nope, both dhcp servers are not showing this IP assigned to anything.
I'm going to ask for some more help
Was this box ever on dhcp or has it ALWAYS been statically assigned?
Did you remove the old NIC drivers etc from the system before/after the MB was changed?
What type of DNS entry is being added, is it just the host record for this server?
Any hosts filesactive and located on any of your servers?
All wins entries and dns cache cleared?
Running ipconfig /all on the server, does it show as dhcp or not in the autonegotiated field?
If you correct the entry, when does it go wrong again, after the next reboot?

This box was on dhcp right after teh mobo was changed. We then switched it back to static. We did not remove the nic drivers. I did go in and show the hidden/removed items and uninstalled the two nics that were in there.
It is just a host record that continues to appear in DNS. I haven't tried assigning it to another computer although I can do that.
There are no hosts files that would point to this dhcp address.
We cleared all the dns cache on all known machines that connect to this system.
The dhcp is showing up almost daily. I remove it in the morning and it is back the next day. The system has not rebooted in weeks.
Hope that helps.

Ok, I took off the check box for register dns connections. We'll leave it over the weekend and if nothing give it a reboot on Monday.
OK. Have a good one :)
ASKER
Got back and the entry is back in DNS so I did a reboot. We'll see tomorrow if it shows up again.

Freakin restart did it.. pretty sad that 2003 can't clear it without a restart and doesn't make you restart either!
lol, :)
