I am about to go insane! Please help!!

[brianteeter]

All I am trying to do is move my wife's site from one server to another. Here goes. Note that DNS lookups point to the server as on the IP 216.12.211.202. Which is correct.

Now when you go to http://www.reneeteeter.com you are taken to the server it used to be on and consequently which is also the name server it is defined on: 66.96.208.10. (The home page shows up as KodiWolf.com.

WHY?!?!?!?!

This makes no sense to me whatsoever and I've been working on this for hours now.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks - Brian

Most ISPs cache DNS info. So your ISP thinks it knows what IP the domain should go to and does not ask your name server. You will just have to wait for your ISP to update their DNS. Go to tracert.org and trace the domain it should go to the correct IP.

It is often useful to use the host command
[you@foo]$ host &domain you are looking up& &name server you want to use&
In this case you would use
host reneeteeter.com
you can then try it against your dns server
host reneeteeter.com 66.96.208.10
and then give it a try against your ISP's name server. You may get diffrent results and then you will know that it is a DNS cache problem. I hope that this helps in the future.
