this a question in my studies that im not confident with, any info or reading links would be awesome.
i can see the dns records in the host are wrong.
im thinking maybe be a simple reboot could do the trick or could the dns records need updating, so maybe ipconfig /flushdns ??? or or or
im tired :) please help !!!! thanks

here is the question

You have just changed the IP address of one of your servers (called "serverx’) from 192.168.0.5 to 192.168.0.26. A user calls and complains that they cannot access any of the shares on serverx. You ask them to type ‘ping serverx’ into a command prompt and they get the following result:
Pinging serverx [192.168.0.5] with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.etc.

Ping statistics for 192.168.0.5:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),

What is the problem and how do you fix it?
