    That's the server that you are querying. On Microsoft Windows this means that you are asking the local DNS Client (Dnscache) service. The Windows Dnscache service forwards the question upstream and caches the response.

      I'm completely insane so I changed the Nameservers provided by the host at my google domain set up. Previously I used customer nameservers (provided by host) and put them in at google. I deleted those & added 1 record: Host name Type TTL Data newlibre.com.newlibre.com A 1 hour 162.246.23.194 I then saved it and immediately went to nslookup on my local machine and ran it and it INSTANTLY showed up: Server: 127.0.0.53 Address: 127.0.0.53#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: newlibre.com Address: 162.246.23.194 I'm completely insane now. Even though it now works.

        Great, You can query any public DNS service by changing the target server: Try this:

        nslookup
        set debug
        server 1.1.1.1
        //Query your domain here

        9.9.9.9 is Quad9 8.8.8.8 is Google You can also target your router IP if it also runs a caching dns

          Yep, I did that and when I targeted the new host's DNS I saw the new IP address. When I would target metronet DNS it would always give me the old one. But then when I added that A record in Google & switched to their default DNS servers then instantly my metronet DNS seemed to update & now I see the proper IP address too. I'm still stumped. But that's my natural state. :rolleyes:

            You can debug this. Can you get the SOA record? The text you are pasting has "Non-authoritative answer" which means whatever DNS server you are asking doesn't own the record. Let's find the start-of-authority for your DNS zone. In your nslookup use:

            set type=soa

                  I switched my web site to YAH (Yet Another Host) & the IP address changed, of course. I can see the new IP address from everywhere, except my home. Things I've done: I checked the DNS propagation site & the new IP address is seen around the world (DNS Propagation Checker - Global DNS Testing Tool[^]) I made the change yesterday evening & finally gave up and went to bed because I couldn't see the new ip address only from my home. Today I've: I've flushed the local dns (100 times). I've ran the release & renew ip address. Turned off local computer & all network equipment. I've turned off my Linksys wifi router for 20 minutes. I've turned off my fiber cable modem. I've backed up the wifi settings & complete restored them -- hoping to wipe the DNS cache on the wifi router -- I believe that is where this is coming from. While the router is in a rebooting state, (with the cable modem turned off) if I ping I will see the old IP address.

                  ping newlibre.com
                  PING newlibre.com (64.209.142.205) 56(84) bytes of data.
                  From RADNet (192.168.5.1) icmp_seq=17 Destination Net Unreachable

                  At one point the router is completely down & I see:

                  $ ping newlibre.com
                  ping: newlibre.com: Temporary failure in name resolution

                  That I was thinking would be good. Finally, everything comes back and again I ping the site & get the old 64.209.142.205 address. Also, if you check the DNS that everyone sees it is the new one: DNS Propagation Checker - Global DNS Testing Tool[^] This is insanity! I can get to the new site from my work computer when I VPN to it & go to browser. It's only here in my home that I cannot get to it. Insanity.

                    Ok, it's a bit confusing i know -- and i've been confused over the past few days. Originally i used smarterasp.net & they were fast but got DDOS'd a few times while I was a member and I was tired of it. I began moving to WinHost -- but then noticed they were 2x - 10x slower than smarterasp. ARgh! I have now moved newlibre.com completely to InterServer.net and they are SUPER fast & great control panel & running my .NET Core web apps with great speed. I'm very happy. If you now hit https://newlibre.com/speedTest[^] you will see the new site & the associated very fast speed.

                      And one more thing, I was able to get 1 month for $8 USD on InterServer.net unlimited bandwidth & unlimited diskspace. Very cheap to try out. I'm quite happy.

                          Has your ISP (home connection) updated their DNS servers? The DNS Propagation Checker doesn't see all the local ISPs.

                            Yeah, the solution was really odd. I restarted everything and did all kinds of nslookup & everything I could. Finally, I switched the DNS Servers to Google's & set an A record for my site which points to the new IP Address. The really freaky thing was that ___the instant___ after I changed that in Google's domain settings then I did a nslookup (locally) and the IP address changed in my local ISPs DNS & it started working. I'm not sure how it could've even done it that fast, but it really did.

                              Have you tried changing the DNS on your router or computer to something else? Other than that, I'd be looking for a stray forgotten entry somewhere. Is that based on my first-hand experience? I'm not saying :laugh:

                                Thanks for chiming in. For a few hours it drove me crazy. I finally decided to break it however I could and I stumbled upon the answer. the solution was really odd. I restarted everything and did all kinds of nslookup & everything I could but none of it worked. Finally, I switched the DNS Servers to Google's & set an A record for my site which points to the new IP Address. The really freaky thing was that ___the instant___ after I changed that in Google's domain settings then I did a nslookup (locally) and the IP address changed in my local ISPs DNS & it started working. I'm not sure how it could've even done it that fast, but it really did.

                                  This is why I have my home network go to the root DNS servers. I don't trust ISP DNS.

                                    I switched my web site to YAH (Yet Another Host) & the IP address changed, of course. I can see the new IP address from everywhere, except my home. Things I've done: I checked the DNS propagation site & the new IP address is seen around the world (DNS Propagation Checker - Global DNS Testing Tool[^]) I made the change yesterday evening & finally gave up and went to bed because I couldn't see the new ip address only from my home. Today I've: I've flushed the local dns (100 times). I've ran the release & renew ip address. Turned off local computer & all network equipment. I've turned off my Linksys wifi router for 20 minutes. I've turned off my fiber cable modem. I've backed up the wifi settings & complete restored them -- hoping to wipe the DNS cache on the wifi router -- I believe that is where this is coming from. While the router is in a rebooting state, (with the cable modem turned off) if I ping I will see the old IP address.

                                    ping newlibre.com
                                    PING newlibre.com (64.209.142.205) 56(84) bytes of data.
                                    From RADNet (192.168.5.1) icmp_seq=17 Destination Net Unreachable

                                    At one point the router is completely down & I see:

                                    $ ping newlibre.com
                                    ping: newlibre.com: Temporary failure in name resolution

                                    That I was thinking would be good. Finally, everything comes back and again I ping the site & get the old 64.209.142.205 address. Also, if you check the DNS that everyone sees it is the new one: DNS Propagation Checker - Global DNS Testing Tool[^] This is insanity! I can get to the new site from my work computer when I VPN to it & go to browser. It's only here in my home that I cannot get to it. Insanity.

                                    maybe a stupid question, but did you check your hosts file ?

                                      This sounds like you have had a problem in the past and have added newlibre.com to you local hosts file no amount of dns flushing will help if this is what you have done Edit: doh! read the entire thread before replying

                                        You didn’t mention the HOSTS file. Maybe you stuck an entry in there? The nslookup tool should give you some more info, especially the DNS server being queried. Good luck. :)

                                          Thanks very much I appreciate any ideas I could get. No hosts file here at all. It ended up being that I had to switch to Google's DNS servers & then add 1 A record. The moment I set that in the Google Domain setup - i ran nslookup locally & the IP address changed to the proper one. I couldn't believe it did it instantly. It was crazy fast. But the setting shouldn't have been necessary for my setup. Oh well. Painful lesson learned.
