dns ?error

[Guest]

I have one xp pro machine out of several hundred that has a real dumb error.

If I ping server 1 it returns the pings from server 2 ( indentifed by the
returning ip)
and in "Remote Desktop Connection" if I enter the name "Server 1" it
connects to server 2 as id'ed by the computer name.

I have done ipconfig /flushdns and it was no help.

Any clues and thanks

Check hosts and lmhosts files?
