I've had to rebuild a PC which was had an IP of 10.11.1.1 lets say. I've rebuilt it and now it's on 10.11.1.2, but any server, pc trying to ping the PC name still see the old 1.1 address.

I've removed the 1.1 from DHCP, ipconfig /flushdns and it's still showing 10.11.1.1 when i try to ping the PC name.

Any ideas?

Thanks
 
Don't think it's that purely because every other PC on the network still see's the PC as 1.1

Usually when I do something like this, the PC will sort itself out in about 5 minutes.
 
If it is not in the host file it sounds like you have a record stuck somewhere. Is there a server on your network?

Try on the machine ipconfig /registerdns
See if that resolves the issue.
 
We have 3 domain controllers on our network.

I've tried the registerdns but still nothing happens :/
 
If you have three domain controllers do you have DNS on all three? If you do it sounds like replication is not working properly. Go into the DNS MMC manually and delete the forward lookup for that particular PC on each server. See which server it is different on and then fix replication.
 
Yeah agree with TRin - you'll have to look for the old PC name in the DNS list on each of your servers and manually remove it, then reregister DNS. It's nothing to do with DHCP, this is all about DNS.
 
Deffernatly a stuck DNS record on one of your servers. Assuming you havent set up static records you could just wait a while and hope the record expires.
