Suddenly my DHCP/DNS is not resolving properly

I have about 10 machines on a home network. For some reason some of these
machines have gotten extremely slow booting up. Upon further examination I
found that no matter who I ping from these machines they resolve it to the
same address: 64.94.110.11. This address has absolutely nothing to do with
my network (192.168.99.x). Ipconfig gives me back all the correct info in
terms of DNS and DHCP server. I don't know what else I can provide for
info. Anybody have any ideas?
 
So the ipconfig/all shows that all is pointing to your server-IP?
What OS on this machine?

My clients are mixes of 2k and XP. The domain server is 2k AS. The DHCP
server is Linux.

More info. If I ping "computername" it returns the bogus IP address I
mentioned earlier. If I ping "computername.domainame.com" I get back an
address in the correct subnet, but still wrong. For example It'll resolve
to 192.168.99.41 when DHCP has really given that machine 192.168.99.12. The
real problem with all of this is it takes almost 30 mins for the machine to
boot.
 
When machines are slow in starting up, this usually has got to do with DNS.
Is it possible to set options in the DHCP-server on the Linux? In W2K-DHCP
you set options 003, 006 and 015 (router, DNS and local domainname).
