Internal DNS problem

I have an apparent DNS problem --

Our ACT! synchronization stopped working, and I'm starting my investigation.

It appears if I ping server01, I get our internal ip address responding (192.168.1.100)
but if I ping \\server01, I get our external ip address, and of course, no response from the server.

I'm a neophyte when it comes to DNS. I am using Windows 2000 server, and I have each computer
pointed to the server (server01 - 192.168.1.100) as the only dns server in their network setup properties.

I need \\server01 to return the internal ip address, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, In the Server01 DNS Properties, under the forwarders tab, there are 4 IP addresses
for external DNS servers.

OK, I think I solved my own problem -- I located our domain settings
at Network Solutions, and the IP address for this sub-domain was pointing
to our Tech office instead of to the Home office.

And it appears that \\server01 should point to the external address
while
server01 points to our internal address.

Thanks!
