I have an active directory / wins / DNS server, Server1, which
resolves to ip address 10.0.0.1. In its domain, I've got another
server, Server2, which has the ip address 10.0.0.2.

My problem is as follows:

When I run nslookup on Server2, from Server1, the correct ip address
is returned: 10.0.0.2.
When I check the wins service on Server1, the correct ip address is
returned: 10.0.0.2.
If, however, I try to ping the name "Server2", it resolves to 10.0.0.1
-- which is actually Server1!
Similarly, if I run nbtstat on "Server2, 10.0.0.1 is returned
(incorrectly), but this time with Server2's MAC address!

Any ideas at all?
 
Sounds like DNS and WINS aren't agreeing on some of the records. Check to
be sure that both WINS and DNS have the correct leases for the right names
and IP addresses, delete any faulty records.
