    Ask your network people whether there's a DNS alias set up on the DNS server. alternatively, have you checked your hosts file to see whether there's an entry in there?

    On a default Windows installation (depending on the version), it's C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. But you didn't need to ask me that - you could have just typed "hosts file" into your favourite search engine.
