Question : IP address remembered as old computer name

I'm setting up a new computer and want to re-use an IP address that was used previously for another computer.  The other computer no longer exists and is not on our network.

When I ping the IP address, even though the new computer is using it, it still shows that it is used by the old computer name.

How can I get the IP address associated with the new computer name in Windows?  Both XP and on our Windows Server Standard 2003?

I seem to recall something about ARP cache?

Thanks

Answer : IP address remembered as old computer name

Change
$discprice = 0.9 * $match[0];
to
$discprice = sprintf("%.2f", 0.9 * $match[0]);
