Duplicate forward lookup DNS Entry problem

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.general (More info?)

Hi.
We have been having a few problems with some computers not being able to
open Outlook, this is being caused by them picking up the incorrect server
IP (I pinged server by name and it gave the incorrect IP), anyhow, looking
on the server (win2000 sp 4), in the DNS console under Forward lookup zone,
there are two entries for the server, the correct one, and the incorrect
one. Any reason why this duplicate entry is appearing?
Many thanks

Gavin

We have just one server that does everything, this has a fixed IP and
exchange is on that.

Yeah, that solved the Outlook problem, just puzzled how come another entry
got in there?

Many thanks.
