At work when I checked ipconfig /all (I have got win2000 server)
I found that my address (say it is196.230.165.185 )

I issued the command : “nslookup 196.230.165.185” ,,,the result was :

Server: srvgcc04.bb.workshop.ac.uk
Address: 196.230.167.208


Name : ccitipprasadc.bb.workshop.ac.uk
Address: 196.230.165.185

bb.workshop.ac.uk is our domain at work (fake one).

prasadc this the username for one of colleague at work,,, Why am I getting this on my PC ?

I went to my colleague that I am getting his username, and I asked him to check his PC (XP Pro), when he checked his PC he found these information:

Server: srvgcc04.bb.workshop.ac.uk------same mine, obvious
Address: 196.230.167.208

Name : ccitipiwzaki.bb.workshop.ac.uk-------different form mine
Address: 196.230.165.186

iwzaki another different username belong to another colleague!!!

Suppose I am administartor, what should I configure to avoid this problem ?
 
this looks like dns records for machine on an internal network, but they have global addresses.

nslookup is used to find dns information.
 
first of, when you try pinging does it resolve the host name correctly. secondly try checking the gateway and subnet for your connection.

If I am on the same LAN (at work) and I try to ping it dose not resolve the host name.

secondly try checking the gateway and subnet for your connection.
I checked them , it were same to my colleague.
 
if you ping a ip address, it is gonna resolve the host name with a dns server. it sounds like a dns problem
