Re: Two computers have same IP

Aloha Dano,

On the server if you open the DNS manager (should be under Administrative Tools) and look under the Forward Lookup for your domain what IP address does it list for that computer name? If it's the wrong one, delete that record. Then go back to the workstation and /REGISTERDNS again.

thanks Ben for your timely reply~

I did that and I also registerDNS.

Well, the computer sees itself as itself when I ping it. ***.44

However, when I go to the SBS server, and ping the computer, it still
insists the IP is the other computer.

and that is ***.21

I assume this why I can't remote access it. I can now remote access
if I put in the proper IP instead of the name, so I guess its a DNS
issue...

I flushed the DNS on the server and it still won't release the
incorrect IP.
