i didnt give one important information.
i started one system yesterday, which having the same name in the domain ( previously its the application server). i got duplicate name warning message and stopped the system.
i searched for solution and some are advising that, i should dis join the server and delete the DNS record from the domain and then again i have to join into the domain. this will solve my issue.
please guide me if i do this will i get any issue with my application. because i am using a mail agent application in that server.

we installed mail agent in this system to get mails to entire office.
This is just rejoining a machine ... doubt it would cause problems ... the machine will have the same IP and the same Computer name NETBIOS and FQDN ... provided the network card TCP/IP settings are the same and the IP is static).
What is your email client ???

I don't see any problem since the machine will have the same name and IP.
Did you check the network settings on the NIC?
Obviously it cannot contact the domain server(s). Check your DNS settings on network properties as well :)
And ... as obvious as it sounds .... check the network cable and whether the network cars is working ok. If you have bridged NICs check the configuration as well.
