local host name is resolving to internet IP
Am having a really strange problem on one of my PC. Look at this below. For some reason when I ping a local host ("server") it's name gets interpreted as "server.lan". And the IP is getting resolved to an external IP (which is the TalkTalk IP for incorrect host name). This is only happening on my laptop. Other machines on the local network can reach "server" without problems. Any ideas?
