I'm running SBS 2000 incorporating Exchange 2000 using the POP3 connector. Several times over past few weeks, incoming mail jams in the c:\Program Files\Microsoft Backoffice\POP3 Connector\Incoming folder. Subsequent attempts at retrieving mail results in "Initialisation error". To overcome...

Well still not quite there, I'm afraid there's another twist. I've just been back on site to test if it is working OK. Both PC's ping each other OK until the Win95 PC dials up. Following that all pinging times out until after 3 or 4 minutes of repeated tries (i.e. pinging) they start responding...

edemiere & Peter, Peter - Glad it solved your problem. Edemiere - Sorry for delay in getting back to you, I amended the "route add" command" and I left it a few days to see if it was stable. It does seem to be fine. Many thanks again I will report back after I next visit the...

Hi edemiere, OK, I'll try that when I get back on site. I assume this command adds a route which routes everything with the same network address (ie 192.168.1.xxx) through the gateway. Is this right? Many thanks for your help and I do appreciate you patience. I will report back when...

edemiere, Well, not there yet. I used the Route Add command, substituting the IP addresses I use (ie. 192.168.16.xxx) with the mask 255.255.255.0) which gave the error message "The route addition failed: 87". Many thanks if any help Doug

edemiere, Many thanks for you reply. I fully understand what you are saying and it looks like a very reasonable solution. It will be a couple days before I'm on site to try it out, but I will report back the outcome. One question though, is this a common problem? I can't think that I've seen...

I have a 2 PC network: one running win95 the other win98. Each PC can ping its own IP address and the IP address of each other - everything is fine. However when the win98 machine dials up the IPS, the PC's can't ping each other (though they can still ping their own IP). Any help appreciated...

Strange goings on: I have Exchange 2000 running on Windows 2000 server. A few days ago I noticed that there was a lot of unexpected "sending traffic" when Exchange server initiated a dial out to the ISP for email. What I found was that some emails immediately on receipt (usually...

Does anyone have any experience or comments on the MicroWorld Antivirus (eScan) product particularly in Microsoft Server 2000/Exchange 2000 environment. Doug

Jaksen121, Thanks, I appreciate your help Doug

No, this server uses an ordinary dial-up connection to an ISP so I think that it is wrong to be 127.0.0.1 So, please could you explain exactly where and how to change it. I think should say : >sbs-server.smallbusiness.local >Address: 192.168.16.2 which are of course are my local settings...

When I use NSLOOKUP to check/resolve MX records, I get a response :- NSLOOKUP >Default server : Local Host >Address : 127.0.0.1 Is this OK? If not, what should I do. Doug

Hads (& Dan) Thanks for your email Hads. However just this minute I 've sorted the problem out. This was only possible by your help along the way and reading through past problems where help was given by people like Dan. The reference to ESMTP flagged up an email thread by ShawnF about SMTP...

OH oh, telnet ip-in-mx 25 gives the result as shown above, BUT telnet 127.0.0.1 25 says thaat ESMTP Mail service is ready?!! Any comment please? Sorry about all these mails I'm sending but ... Doug

Right, I've just had another go at this based on advice that Dan gave someone a while back. I sent an email to myself and it worked fine. I ran NSLOOKUP, set q=MX, I put in different domain names such as microsoft.com and get back a load of details which seem fine to me. So next I entered...

Hads - Yes, I do appreciate every bit of help I get. Thanks. Re Dan's question about "Smart Hosting" - It seems that I am forwarding to a "Smart Host" (The documentation from the ISP says that by choosing to route all mail through smtp.clara.net that this is smart hosting...

Thanks Hads for your info about NSLOOKUP Only just realised someone else had replied Doug

Dan Additional info: in the Event Viewer for the DNS there's a load of error messages : "The DNS Server has invalid or corrupted registry parameter Forwarders" ???? Thanks Doug

Right Dan, Regarding the mx record, I've run the NSLOOKUP and get a load of detail as you indicated which look convincing. Regarding the SMTP connector - All my queues are under the d "Default SMTP Virtual Server". The "SMTP Connector (Remote delivery)" I mentioned above is...

Dan, I'm sorry, but please could you remind on how to do that? I'm not sure if I'm forwarding to a "smart host" I'll have to check. Many thanks
