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 ?

Note: I can ping these ip addresses, and all PCs get the IP addresses form DHCP server

You'll need to look at the DNS server configuration on srvgcc04.bb.workshop.ac.uk, because it's returning that info. Maybe it's been statically configured with a bunch of names and IP addresses at some point, and that configuration is no longer accurate.

If I am adminstrator, what should I do (check or configure).

Depends, what DNS server are you running? Windows' built-in one, or something else like BIND?
