Exchange using DYNDNS help on NTL home

[tomcoombs]

When starting the "default POP3 Virtual" protocol, it says "Service did not respond in a timly fashion".

For your info, I do not have a domain as such, does that matter. I have a homeip.net dynamic DNS account. I also have a

http://www domain,

can I use this.

Something tells me its a domain issue...


Thanks

Tom

Hi Tom,

I recently setup a server with dyndns similar to what you are doing. Just because a server says it didn't start in a timely fashion doesn't necessarily mean it didn't start.

First, check in administrative tools->services and see if the service started. If not try starting it or restarting it from the services panel. If it is not starting check check the application event log and see if there is an error.

If there is nothing there you might increase the debugging level in by going into the exchange 2003 administrative tool. I can't tell you where to increase the logging level, because I cannot access my exchange 2003 console at the moment, but I would guess it would give you some additional information which might be helpful in debugging the problem.

Have you checked that the service isn't set to Disabled which is the default setting?
