Crazy addressing problem!!!

My Domain Controller/DNS server thinks one of the machines on my subnet is 10.10.10.2, but i changed it to .12

Server1: DNS/DC server (10.10.10.10)
Server 2: Other server (10.10.10.12)

Server 1: ping server1 (10.10.10.2) <--resolves old IP
no response, naturally

-flushed arp
-flushed dns
checked dns console and forward lookup zone for server 2 is correct(10.10.10.12)

i can communicate with all other machines on the network
Server 2: ping server1 (10.10.10.1) <---this is the gateway
replies fine

- flushed arp
- flushed dns, registered

i can communicate with all other machines on the network
i left the domain, and rejoined fine, problem persists



any ideas?

Do you get the same result when you ping the host name and fqdn? Are you using any host file entries? Does nslookup confirm that the DNS server you're querying is the one you're expecting?
