Okay I got one for you. I changed the DNS on our web site to a new server. When I ping our domain I get the new server, I get the new server with FTP. I get the new server with mail. I get the new server if I try to visit the site using Netscape Navigator. However I get the old server if I visit it using Internet Explorer. Why???

Try deleting your temporary internet files. :)

Sound's like those weird mystery's things that happen once in a blue moon. Although it clears, up after a few days.

So you are saying you have done all the deleting the cache and all that mess? I mean, if you are pinging it and it is resolving correctly then IE should find it's way there unless it is loading from cache.

Also - double check the DNS entries - I recently saw where Ensim was not always adding each proper DNS entry on domains created that it was not authoritative on - not sure if that could be related or not.

OK - my response probably just wasted your time. Wish I could help more.

I would add that if you ISP is giving you dial up, they may be caching your pages. I heard AOL and MSN types do that. You may want to check.

Otherwise your deleting of cache should have worked ....

Yea, they do that, even my DSL provider does it. I think they do it to conserve there bandwidth, and it get's really anoyying.

if you are running XP or 2000 you can run

ipconfig /flushdns from the command prompt
