ping internal host name but return public domain address

I have a NT 4 PDC cum exchange 5.5 server, when ever I try to ping any
internal host from this server, instead of returning the private ip address
of the host that I ping. it always return my public registered domain IP.

When I cross check the IP address. it is actually the public IP address of
my hosted web server domain IP.

I had try the following
1. adding and removing the TCP/IP protocol

2. change the server dns to other public DNS server

3.Manually add hosts file to map the IP address of the host that I intend to
ping

All these doe not resolved my problem. However when I explicitly leave the
server DNS property empty. The problem doe not appear. The problem is that I
cannot leave the server DNS property empty since this is a exchange 5.5
server and I also need to able to access other web site using domain name
from this server.

Anyo ne able to help ?

I would check the DNS first. or this search result may help,

Install an internal DNS server and point the server to that one. Use
forwarding to resolve external dns names.

The case # is the reference for our constants. How do you setup your DNS? Any errors if using nslookup command?

Well,

I actually use a public DNS server that belongs to the Local ISP, Since it is a NT 4.0 server, I do not need to register the host name on a w2k or 2003 DNS. In fact I do not own any dns server in my own network.

To be precise, what happen is that everytime I ping any internal network host from this Nt 4.0 server, my public registered domain will append to to the back of the host I trying to ping.

Example:

Host to ping: workstaion1
registered public domain: abc.com
abc.com IP address: 123.456.789.123

when i type the command "ping workstaion1" from NT4.0 command prompt. it will return "pinging workstaion1.abc.com [123.456.789.123], replying from 123.456.789.123"


Any clue ?

tks

In this case, it is better to setup internal DNS.
