workstation DNS Newbie 11/6/2008 9:58:03 PM Hello, We have a Windows 2003 standard server and 10 Windows XP pro workstations. One Linksys Router IP 192.168.1.254 Server IP is 192.168.1.1, Workstations IP are 192.168.1.101 to 192.168.1.110 All workstations DNS set to 192.168.1, gateway set to 192.168.1.254 Sometimes (not always) we cannot use outlook 2003 to receive e-mail. We have to setup Alternate DNS to our DSL DNS, i.e. 206.13.29.12 How can we get rid of this problem? Do we have to use DSL DNS server? Thanks

RE: workstation DNS James Yeomans BSc, MCSE 11/7/2008 1:56:01 PM Hi there, next time you experience the problem see if you can ping your pop3 host by name and ip? If name does not work it would appear to be a dns issue if you cannot ping it by ip it is a connectivity issue. If its a connectivity issue try running traceroute to the pop3 ip and see where it fails. c:>tracert "pop3_server" (replace with your pop3 server name) James. -- James Yeomans, BSc, MCSE Ask me directly at: http://www.justaskjames.co.uk "Newbie" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Hello, > > Our Windows 2003 server is DNS server. > forword zones have > abc.local -> our domain > abc.com -> our pop3 e-mail (outside) > > Thanks > > > > "Newbie" wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > We have a Windows 2003 standard server and 10 Windows XP pro workstations. > > One Linksys Router IP 192.168.1.254 > > Server IP is 192.168.1.1, Workstations IP are 192.168.1.101 to 192.168.1.110 > > All workstations DNS set to 192.168.1, gateway set to 192.168.1.254 > > Sometimes (not always) we cannot use outlook 2003 to receive e-mail. > > We have to setup Alternate DNS to our DSL DNS, i.e. 206.13.29.12 > > How can we get rid of this problem?

Re: workstation DNS "Anthony [MVP]" <anthony[ at ]no-reply.com> 11/8/2008 11:12:03 AM What do you mean by "we cannot use Outlook 2003 to receive mail"?

Re: workstation DNS Newbie 11/11/2008 4:26:00 PM Hello, If I use server IP to my DNS then I will get 0x8007000E error sometimes not always. After I change to our ISP DNS then I don't have this problem. Thanks "Anthony [MVP]" wrote: [Quoted Text] > What do you mean by "we cannot use Outlook 2003 to receive mail"?
