Changed Motherboard and Processor on SBS 2003 server.... davidware[ at ]sbcglobal.net 25.06.2007 21:01:23 And it went much smoother than I had expected. I signed up to this group to share what I learned in the process, and to ask a couple of questions that I had arise during the installation, two of which are still outstanding. My exchange server 2003 resides on this machine and it is the primary DC. It is up and running, my client server apps, the internet, network itself runs great, with two marked exceptions: 1. Client machines cannot send email to the outside, only to other recipients on the network. They receive fine from the outside and from within. 2. Extraordinarily long boot time (like 3 hours + sitting on Applying computer settings screen) It's been running without a hitch for almost 48 hours, and I changed a few settings that may have repaired the long boot, I'm just not brave enough to bring it down for fear of shutting the company down. Heh.... Anyway, I'm no network specialist, so any advice would be appreciated. I did a few goole searches for similar probs, (how I wound up here) but there wasn't much out there that I could find. TIA, Dave

Run CEICW then check that the SBS server's NIC is configured to use only it's own IP address for DNS. ( SBS servers's DNS should be configured by the wizard to forward unresolved DNS requests to the ISP DNS servers.) -- /kj

Compare to the new card Do you have 1 or 2 network cards in the server? -- Cris Hanna [SBS-MVP] ------------------------------------------------- Microsoft MVPs Independent Experts (MVPs do not work for MS) Real World Answers --------------------------------------------------------- Please do not contact me directly regarding issues <davidware[ at ]sbcglobal.net> wrote in message news:1182805283.804804.252260[ at ]o61g2000hsh.googlegroups.com...
