Using wrong gateway address

Typically speaking if he only has one domain controller then DNS would be running on the same server as Active Directory.

None of that really matters, I still don't know why it is still hitting the old IP. Is it stored in a cache somewhere?

If you made the IP address of the new router the same as the old one this wouldn't be an issue unless I am missing something.

I give up. I can't make it any clearer than I already have. Once and for all, there shouldn't be an old IP and new IP for the routers. It should be the IP of the old router was given to the new router.

Why is that so hard to understand?

Your not listening to my question, If your fed up with it that is fine. The question is as follows.

If I change my Default Gateway IP on a desktop, why would it still try to go through the old IP when I run a traceroute?

I'm using WINMTR to run the trace route.

BTW, I plan on switching the new routers IP to the old router's IP. I'm doing this because I would like to get it tested before I screw up my current (working ) system. Thanks all for trying to help.

It shouldn't. The only thing I can suggest is doing a flush of the DNS by running ipconfig /flushdns and/or rebooting.

That's what I thought......I'll give those options a try. thanks
