hi,

I'am having a problem in dns server. when a system gets a
IP from dhcp the information gets added in the dns.when i
give the static ip and try to ping the system with the
name it trys to ping with old Ip(which assigned by dhcp
server) and displays request timed out. But when i try to
ping with static ip it pings.

How do i solve the problem?

Thanks and regards

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.

Hi Ace,

Thanks for your suggestion.

The scenario what i'am facing is like this:

The system was assigned a ip by the dhcp server and the
computer name is 'comp1'.

Now i have assigned the system a static ip address and the
system is not a part of the domain and it is on workgroup.

Now when i try to ping the system by computer name(comp1),
it trys to ping with old ip address( assigned by DHCP)and
displays Request timed out, but when i ping with new
static IP address it pings and resolves the name.
But with the computer name it is not happening.

Now where to find and delete the old IP record and update
the new static ip record.

Whether the static ip entry wiil be updated in dns or it
should be done manually.


thanks in advance.

I see, it's with the single name (NetBIOS name). Do you have WINS running?
Check the WINS database.
