WINS is your problem by the sound of things. If it was set up properly in the first place there will be static mappings in WINS which reference the MAC address and old IP address of the box in question. Delete these entries and It'll probably fix it. Any dynamic entries need to be tombstoned.

From: Rama Arumugam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Simple NT 4.0 server Question? Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2003 08:36:48 -0800 Hi, We recently changed our IP address on our PDC and several other servers on our corporate office. When I try to ping the new servers by their NetBios name from a remote BDC, it times out. When it tries to ping, it is pinging the older IP address and not the newer ones. I have checked and modified the lmhost file and did a nbtstat -R to clear the ARP cache. Nothing helps. I am still having the same problem. I am able to ping all the other servers. Any ideas? Thanks everyone!
