Unanswered Strange issue. Windows 7

      Has Code

    I've been trying to find a resolution for this for a few days to no avail, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

    I seem to have a DNS record to an IPv6 server that hasn't existed on my network for more then a year, no matter what I try and do, it keeps coming back.

    If I reset the stack either by

    netsh int ip reset

    or

    netsh interface ipv6 reset

    and reboot the machine, the errant DNS server goes away.

    If I sleep the same machine, the moment it comes out of sleep the DNS server is back.

    I can't for the life of me find it, it's only happening on one computer.

    Here's an example after the reset.

    Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection:
    
       Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : test.local

    And here it is after the machine wakes from sleep

       Connection-specific DNS Suffix Search List :
                                           test.local

    I will further note, it also happens if I disconnect from the current wifi network, connect to another, then connect back.

    The machine is running Windows 7, fully updated, there is no manual IPv6 information added anywhere.

    I would check the unit with IPv4 address 192.168.15.1 for any IPv6 configuration. It may be the culprit sending you router advertisements (RA) containing this "ghostly" DNS server.
