Issues with DNS Entries
Hi,
I recently took out one of the machine from our network but when I open up the command prompt and ping them I get a reply back.
So i thought it might be an issue with the DNS entry so logged into the DC and deleted the Host record for that computer name.
The computer name is : comp001
Ip adress: 34.82.152.182
but when I perform a PING -a 34.82.152.182 I get a reponse from another machine which is on the N/W.
I am sure that comp001 is out of the N/w because I have it at my desk shutdown and un-plugged but I can still RDP to it using its name but when I log on to the PC and check the actual computer name its of a different machine.
Can anyone tell me what's going on?
after i deleted the Host record for Comp001 I did a ipconfig/flushdns and register but that did not help.
How is it possible that I can still ping the machine name when its no longer on the N/W?

Excellent. One other thing I WAS going to suggest was stop stop and restart the DNS Server service on the server...

It was a WINS issue so when we remove the object from WINS everthing was good
