Do you want DHCP to register the records for that machine? If not, on that
specific machine, uncheck 'register this connection' (provided its not a
DC/DNS server itself).

As for the record, DHCP owns the record. Follow what I mentioned above to
stop the reg on that machine, also provided in DHCP, under the DNS tab, that
you do not have it set to 'force reg for all clients whether the client asks
or not', then it will force reg. You can delete the unwanted record if you
want.

What's also happening, when you have the two records, both name say,
'computer1' under the zone, and if its in there twice, one from DHCP reg'ing
it, and one from you manually creating it, then it performs a round robin on
it, and hence what you are seeing that its pinging the old record.

Read this for more specific info about Win2000 DHCP and how the whole thing
works and why you are experiencing what you are seeing.
