Hi ... I work for a small ISP that is currently trying to address the world wide spam problem (our clients get too much). One of the solutions that a staff member has mentioned is to give our clients their own domain name (potentially a few thousand clients). We would not allow the domain to...

Thanks for the help guys, but unfortunately I have learned that it's not possible to do what I wanted. The reason is that when you point your domain to name servers in a registrar, you need to point to registered name servers. My ns1/ns2.mydomain1.com are obviously not registered name servers...

Thanks Faith ... it looks to be working, but as you mentioned I have to wait 24-48 for the registrar settings to kick in. I'll let you know.

Thank you for the reply guys ... I'm not sure I understand though. You hit the nail on the head; I want to create aliases to my providers dns. I know the IP addresses of my providers dns, therefore I can point to them instead of ns1. and ns2. (is that what you mean?). I'm not sure what you...

Hello, I have a few domain names, and in the domain registrar's I use my providers dns servers in the format ns1.provider.com, and ns2.provider.com. I have access to the dns of all of my individual domains, therefore I was wondering if I could setup one of my domains to point to the providers...

scjlin .. in my case it was a pretty easy fix. I had the PTR record pointing to server1.mydomain.com. The problem is that server1.mydomain.com is just a CNAME pointing to server.mydomain.com. You cannot point a PTR record to a CNAME, it must be pointed to an A record (I think). Therefore...

Hello, I'm currently running a Windows2000 server as an email server and I have a lot of clients. I would like to upgrade my email system to a multi-system setup (load balancing, redundancy). I have no idea where to get information regarding the best way to do this. Most of the info I have...

Thanks for the help iproute, but I think I figured it out. The reverse lookup is working now.

I'm currently running a mail server on a Windows machine, and I would like to switch to Linux. The MTA I'm using is not compatible with Linux, therefore I think I want to switch to qmail. My problem is that I have a lot of clients using the mail server, and I would like a backup server and a...

Hello, I have a DNS issue regarding the reverse lookup on my server, and I don't know if I understand how it works enough to fix the problem. When I do a reverse lookup on my server's IP I get this feedback (from dnsstuff.com).. Asks a few root server and comes up with ns2.serverbeach.com...

I've just read that NAT for win2000 does not support incoming PPTP connections. Are there any alternatives? I can't believe something this basic hasn't been a big issue with many people. I don't know why I used the word "gateway" in my original post. I have the win2000 server going...

Hi trailman73. Unfortunately I don't have a proxy server. Can you recommend how I would start setting up NAT or the VPN in win2k (or maybe you have a good link?). I've been searching the web and I can't find any info on doing something like that.

This is a similar question that was discussed in this thread .. thread463-667254 don't want my users to have to do anything with their machines to surf the web while connected to the VPN. I'm using Windows 2000 Server as my VPN machine, and would like to have the gateway on the server allow...

Thanks mhkwook. That does what I asked, although is there any way to stop "There are open files and/or incomplete directory searches pending on the connection to v:" from showing? Even though it doesn't require the user to type "Y" anymore, that sentence still shows up on...

I was just wondering if someone could post their version of batch files that would do that. I just created two batch files with the following lines: batchfile1: net use v: \\serverip\sharename batchfile2: net use v: /delete That works, but the problem is I get a message in a command propmt...

I would like to change the Administrators password on my win2000 server, but I'm not sure how. I can require any of the users on the machine to "change password at next logon", but the Admin accout is setup as "Password Never Expires", therefore when I check the "change...

I have setup a VPN server for my office. I can connect to the server, but I cannot view the server shared folders without typing "net use ...". I have been directed to use WINS, but after looking into it I'm totally confused. What can WINS do for me? I don't need to browse the...

Thanks mhkwood, you've been a huge help. I'll read into WINS and see if I can get it working on the same box/server.

Okay, I got it working a little. I reconfigured the RRAS, and now I can connect and successfully type 'net use f: \\serverIP\ShareName'. After that I have to type my username/password in again, but as long as I do that, I can then view the shared folder in Windows Explorer under F:. The one...

Thank you for the reply mhkwood. -I have a Windows 2000 Server I'm using as the VPN server. -When I type net use f: \\serverIP\ShareName , I get System error 67 (The network can not be found). f: is not in use on the client. -When opening the cmd prompt on the client, I cannot ping the actual...
