Duplicate forward lookup DNS Entry problem

[Gavin]

Hi.
We have been having a few problems with some computers not being able to
open Outlook, this is being caused by them picking up the incorrect server
IP (I pinged server by name and it gave the incorrect IP), anyhow, looking
on the server (win2000 sp 4), in the DNS console under Forward lookup zone,
there are two entries for the server, the correct one, and the incorrect
one. Any reason why this duplicate entry is appearing?
Many thanks

Gavin

Hi

Is your exchange server running on DHCP?

We have just one server that does everything, this has a fixed IP and
exchange is on that.

Have you tried deleting the incorrect entry from the DNS database, and the
doing an ipconfig flushdns and then registerdns

Yeah, that solved the Outlook problem, just puzzled how come another entry
got in there?

Many thanks.
