Hello,

I have two computers outside of my production network with static ip addresses - they are setup as follows:

Box1
IP: 192.168.1.20
subnet: 255.255.255.0
DNS: 192.168.1.4

Then BOX1 was changed to
IP: 192.168.1.21
subnet: 255.255.255.0
DNS: 192.168.1.4

Box2 was then set to:
IP: 192.168.1.20
subnet: 255.255.255.0
DNS: 192.168.1.4

The problem is when I ping box1 from the production domain it comes up with 192.168.1.20. How can I fix this problem?

If I "ping -a 192.168.1.20" It says box2!!

Thanks
 
you might only need to do an ipconfig /flushdns on the box you are pinging from. or you may need to get into the dns server and change the hostA records for box1 and box2 so they have the correct info. or you may have to do both things.

Tried both - plus added a manual entry for both boxes on the "production domain controllers"

Still having the same problem....
