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.

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 wonder if you two keep this thread going like this if it will travel off this monitor and onto my second monitor.
sorry for the interruption, please continue.

nslookup type=soa
Server: 8.8.8.8
Address: 8.8.8.8#53
** server can't find type=soa: NXDOMAIN
Earlier I went to a site which shows my DNS server:
Ended up being :
Country ISP DNS Server
US AS-CMN - Metronet 69.174.129.245
US AS-CMN - Metronet 2603:d010:b001:2::2

So, I just type some more. Then, sometimes I get lucky.
  That's being humble! I often visualize myself stumbling, sometimes backward or sideways, but enough forward that it looks like progress. As the years pass, I stumble less!

Shot in the dark: hosts file?
Try from a different device, like a phone on wifi.

Thanks for the ideas. I have tried from other devices also.
I just powered everything down & disconnected power plugs & then restarted everything.
My phone goes to cell network when wifi is down & when I ping from phone I see new IP address.
As soon as the wifi comes up & cell reconnects to it then I get the old ip address. I'm insane now.

I recently shipped a laptop to a new wfh hire. Many of the websites that we use for support were failing due to DNS. It turned out to be a setting in the WiFi router that was set to use the ISP's DNS service. I turned that off and manually set it to use Google's dns and everything was fine.

That's my final idea. That the DNS from my ISP is not updated. It's metronet and I believe the DNS is dytnohaa.metronetinc.net (shows up in DHCP on router).
But I don't see anyway to change that.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Second the etc/hosts file.
Did you put a temporary entry in last time you switched the site hosting or when you first stood it up.
|
|
|
|
|
Did you check your host file?
c:\windows\system32\drives\etc open your host file from an elevated command prompt and see if you have an entry for your old IP address and your website.
I hope that helps and have a Bless Day!
