The network was down a few seconds today. After resetting one of the switches I pinged a few machines and got <1ms times, which is just fine. However, I did a tracert to some other devices and got some interesting results. Although there's only one hop to every device, the packets are going through random computers and not the server (domain controller). Is this correct??
Pinging a device on the network results:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ping nas01

But at the same time, a tracert gives me:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>tracert ingenieria07
Tracing route to nas01 [192.168.1.82]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms ventas01.ekaymm.local [192.168.1.82]
Trace complete.
Why is the packet going through ventas01.ekaymm.local?? This is driving me nuts.
Our domain server (SERVERHP) has DNS enabled and a static IP of 192.168.1.240.
Our DHCP server is a Linksys RV04 router, which passes the following DNS settings to every client:
Primary DNS server: 192.168.1.240
Secondary DNS server: 192.168.1.1 (itself).
It is my understanding that every request will go first to the primary DNS server, which is our local server. If the request is not located in that server, then it will go to the secondary DNS server (internet gateway).
