    Seems to be DNS issue.

    Do this,

    On the computer , run IPconfig /flushdns and IPconfig /registerdns.

    let us know the results.

    IF nothing works out,. Please run ipconfig /all and post the results here.

    Regards,

    Is it happening on multiple Virtual machines?

    If yes can you post ipconfig /all from one of the client computer?

    Also try pinging with ping -a IP address and let us know which host name it is resolving in DNS

    ping -a 172.119.103.193 is not returing with no Host record.

    Can you please check your Reverse lookup zone for this.

    I really think , IN DNS there is mismatch in PTR records.

    Hello,

    on the DNS servers configure and enable scavenging and cleanup incorrect entires manual until the configuration is done:

    Hello,

    I would agree with Meinolf.

    You have to clean up obsolete DNS records. This could be done using aging and Scavenging.

    More here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc959277.aspx

    Just be patient and it will do the job for you.

    Note that aging and scavenging will not clean up static DNS records. For that, you have to delete manually all obsolete static DNS records.

    So that a client computer updates its DNS records, run ipconfig /registerdns and restart netlogon on it.

    Hi,

    I also agree with meinolf, however if this is a server that load balances then it may go to that machine but then bounce to another machine.

    Hope it helps.

    hello, Please find details that has investigated so far:

    >In Wins, computer is mapped correctly with the IP

    >No records found in dns

    > while conencting to machine by IP, i get following error

    The connection cannot be completed because the remote computer that was reached is not the one you specified. This could be caused by an outdated entry in the DNS cache. Try using the IP address of the computer instead of the name.

    >this computer is not load balanced

    > ipconfig flsuh and register has been done alredy on few but still same

    Hello,

    have you configured scavenging assuggested and manually removed obsolete entries from the DNS zonmes of the domain DNS server?

    Please post an unedited ipconfig /all from the machine you are trying to ping and the client you use for this.

    Best regards

    Hi,

    I don’t think DHCP server will lease same IP address to different computer. Did the trisrl0012556 computer have multiple IP addresses? Please enable scavenging on the DNS zone as Meinolf suggested. Also post the necessary information for further troubleshoot.

    An incorrect IP address is returned when you ping a server by using its NetBIOS name in Windows Server 2008 or in Windows Server 2008 R2
