Two domains mixed up, any thoughts?

We have Windows Hosting in-house and domains with Network Solutions.

We have an old site, www.oldsite.com that we own the domain name but we've never done anything with the domain name (at least in my 4 years).

We just set up www.newsite.com a few weeks ago.

Suddenly in Google, the oldsite is coming up but the pages are the new site. For example you can go to:

www.oldsite.com/contact.aspx (which is showing as results in google)
-or-
www.newsite.com/contact.aspx.

Also if you go to www.oldsite.com it brings up www.newsite.com.

I have no links in the code to the old domain name, as I didn't even know it existed before it showed up in google. Network Solutions says all the records are right for the domain name.

Any thoughts I can take to our Sys Admin?

you probably have oldsite pointing to the server and the server is probably using a 302 to redirect to newsite.
it should be using a 301 instead.
