I'll be honest in that I do not know a direct resolution to that particular error. I would delete the server from DNS and reinstate it. That way it should recreate all the entries.

The reason you cannot restart DHCP on the server is because it is running on the rouer. I would run DHCP from the server and not the router. I am guessing that you router is assigning clients with DNS server of 192.168.1.1 (router) and not 192.168.1.5 (Server). It is essensial that cleints...

Disable the DHCP on the router. Enable DNCP on the server. Define a scope. Exclude the address of the server and the router form the scope. It sounds to me like you have duplicate IPs. I am guessing 192.168.0.1 is being assigned to both the router and the Server, or something along these...

It is not advisable to run ICS on a W2K server that is is also running DNS server. My advise would be to buy an analouge 56K router.

Sounds to me like you have a DNS problem on the 2000 server. You must have the server looking at itself for DNS resolution if it is the PDC. The same applies to the clients. They must be looking to the 2K serevr for DNS resolution. You can setup forwarders in DNS to the linux box if you...

Your best bet would be to get something like Zyxel's prestige 652. This is a secure ADSL/VPN firewall. VPN over NAT works ok, but not the best setup.

I may be wrong, but I do not think you should backup the information store. I have seen this before where it the backup never completes. You should just backup the mail boxes instead.

Go to 'exchange general' in the users settings in ADU&C and go to delivery options. In there you can select who you want to forward the mail to an whether or not you want to send the mail to both recipients or not.

You will struggle with a dynamic IP address! What routers do you have on the ADSL connections? One possible solution would be to have the ADSL upgraded to 'no-nat' and then put a firewall in such as a Zyxel 'Zywall' 10. These are cheap at about £300. Depending on your requirments at the other...

I would try to send mail, temporarily, up to your ISPs relay. If it goes through then it points to something wrong either with the DNS lookup or with the SMTP connector to AOL.com Sorry I dont have any better answers

How does exchange route your mail? DNS or through your ISP's relay?

How does exchange route your mail? DNS or throught your ISP's relay?

I have done a small amount of work for a company that have SBS Backoffice 4.5 and are running exchange for shared calendars and public folders. However, they do not use it for mail collection and delivery. For this they use VPOP. VPOP is not even just setup as a POP collector for exchange, it...

Anything to do with 'dial-in' permissions?
