all dnslookups resolve the same IP

J

Here's the deal...

My domain controller returns every domain that I do a nslookup for as
a sub domain of my companies domain.

Example
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.myDomainController>nslookup
www.google.com
Server: myDomainController.myDomain.wwwDomainName.com
Address: 192.168.10.20

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.google.com.wwwDomainName.com
Address: 208.109.***.*** > the actual IP where my
wwwDomain name lives

I am not sure where to begin to look to diagnose this. Is it an
active directory thing? Is it a dns thing? This happens no matter
what domain I do the lookup for.

Help!

Thanks

Show us your actual command AND results:

nslookup www.google.com

nslookup www.google.com 4.2.2.2

Also show your unedited text output from "ipconfig /all >config.txt".

Use (all of) the DNS Server addresses as in the second command
above to see which if any of them are functioning incorrectly.

This is pretty common if your internal domain is in a sub domain tree of a
public name and the external DNS hosting provider uses a wildcard record.
Have the DNS provider remove the wildcard record, or you can remove the
public domain from the DNS suffix search list.
By default the DNS client service and nslookup append the Primary DNS suffix
and its parent DNS suffixes in the DNS suffix search list. You can stop the
behavior by clearing "Append parent suffixes of the Primary DNS suffix" box
on the DNS tab in TCP/IP properties. Or you can select "Append these
suffixes (in order) and enter only the internal Domain name.
