    Earthlink Blocking Our E-mail

    MD is right, you need to make sure you have a PTR record. Also, In Exchange 2000 and 2003, look at SMTP Default virtual server, Properties, Delivery, Advanced, FQDN. Make sure what's listed there is the public FQDN of your mail server (e.g. your MX record). For example, you might have...

    Fax network client setup failed

    Try support.citrix.com, tech note CTX102072 as a start. The workaround didn't help me, but maybe FR3 will.

    New server and no outgoing mail.

    lots of possibilities. This is EX5.5, right? From the server, see if you can telnet to a known SMTP server on port 25. This can confirm your DNS resolution and no port issues on your firewall, etc. You should get some sort of reply from the foreign SMTP server acknowleding it connected in the...

    Internet Mail service not sending email

    If I had 10 users and 25000 outbound emails, I'd double-check for a virus infected user.

    basic troubleshooting techniques

    Total noob here. Have a SQL 2000 backend, IIS 4 front end on separate server. Users http to app and login. About once a day, have to reboot the SQL server because users can't log in. No event log errors on SQL. Get a server error, timeout expired in the app. What would be some things I could...

    Firewall and port 445

    We've followed a multitude of Q articles and have hacked the registry to statically fix the ports for the four key services on ports 1225-1228. We also have these ports plus port 135 allowed into our Exchange 2k server (a GC). It worked for quite a while, then stopped working for external...

    How to measure bandwidth usage

    Thanks, rburke, I'll check that out. I'd like to see if there's something native to the Cisco router that I could add to its config.

    How to measure bandwidth usage

    I'd like to capture hourly snapshots of bandwidth usage across a couple of days through a 1602R setup as an ISDN router. Any suggestions?

    violated distribution policy

    I have a Win98 machine on a Win2k domain/InoculateIT 6.0 that is generating a "violated distribution policy" every hour. I've uninstalled and reinstalled (via the script). All other Win98 and Win2k machines are working fine. Any ideas?

    1 server 2 nics DSL LAN/WAN?

    I vote with Dmasch No way I want my backside (public NIC) exposed (pick a Win2k security patch of the day) and all that burden put on the server, even if it is a small office. Use the Linksys. You You can setup your Internet accessible guys to use DHCP, giving them gateway and DNS info. 5...

    win2k VPN cuts off internet

    Matt Wray is right. Split tunneling allows routing of both private IPs through the VPN and public IPs through the non-VPN connection. I would never recommend a Win2k server as a VPN server, when you can get cheap (Linksys), affordable and quality (SonicWall) or bulletproof (Cisco PIX or VPN...

    "No logon servers available" when W2000 client tries to map drive

    I ran into this a couple of months ago. Microsoft Q article: Q297278 I'd encourage you to reconsider your config and put a hardware firewall between you and the ADSL modem and forget the WinProxy & dual NICs. NetBEUI is not a routable protocol, so it will work on your local lan, but not...

    NT4 VPN with SonicWall

    Make sure your DSL modem/router passes IPSec. Sometimes takes a firmware flash to update. Firmware-beware. If you've got SonicWalls at all your sites, have you looked at doing site to site VPN between the SW's? Not sure what the upgrade to the SW's would cost. Linksys now has VPN support on...
