Hostnames incorrect in windows ...

[ikm]

When i attempt to go to www.google.com, IE opens a
different site. Doing a nslookup on www.google.com resolves
correctly therefore i dont think it is a dns problem, but
when i do a ipconfig /displaydns the ptr and host records
point to an incorrect address. This is on a single
workstation with a dsl modem. I have done virus scans,
updated windows, disabled nbt on the dsl conections,
checked hosts files, im not sure where the contents of the
ipconfig /displaydns are loaded form, but flushing dont not
fix the problem...

Any ideas ???
