Question : Strange hostname when i resolve IP

Hi

I have a strange behaviour from one of my host inside a LAN.

If i try to resolve the IP address, the hostname i receive is "your-912865f9a1" instead the correct one.

The host is running windows XP and the Domain is a windows 2003 domain.

If i type ipconfig /all that's what i get:

C:\>ipconfig /all

I can use nslookup and everything seems find but i have this strange host name when i resolve the ip address.

Resolving IP Address: 192.168.27.15
IP Address: 192.168.27.15
Host Name: your-912865f9a1

I don't understand how can i solve the problem.

Thanks.

Answer : Strange hostname when i resolve IP

Try to flush the dns cache Ipconfig /flushdns also clear the wins cache NBTstat -RR on both machines and try this again.
