I have a friend who has a small network with a gateway computer acting as ICS proxy machine. He has recently changed web hosting provider so the DNS for his site and mail have changed.

If a mail is sent to him externally or vise versa then he recevies the mail. If a mail is sent interenally it is sent to the old mail box.

I think this is becuase of an old DNS lookup tabnle on his gateway machine? Is there a way to flush the DNS cache on the machibe with ICS installed? Jace Hayman

go to a DOS prompt (START>RUN and type command) then type ipconfig /flushdns to clear dns resolver cache. Then type ipconfig /registerdns to re-register dns names. I have not tried this with ICS, however I do not see where it could hurt. Let me know if this helps or you need help. James Collins
