Hello again.-

again I need your help.
I have groupwise 6.5 in my novell. All work fine ( I can send email inside my network ) but when I send a email to internet, It appears to me " Detected error on SMTP command" in the Gwia console and soon appears " MSG 213 Response: 450 Host down ([xx.xx.xx.xx]) "
My Novell is behind of my router making NAT.
Somebody can helpme??

Has this worked in the past or is this a new install/configure? Is your Internet access working? If this is a new install or configuration did you configure the router or a 3rd party?

Is it possible that the server is not setup in the routers access list? If you are using the ping.nlm on the server and are not able to ping any internet address but can ping inside and your PC's can surf/ping an Internet address then I think it is probably a routing issue in the router or on the server. Are you using any proxy servers to access the Internet? What brand/model router are you using? What version of Novell?

I solve the problem the ping to any address of internet, but when i ping a domian name ( novell.com ) appears this message in my Novell " Could not understand as a host name or address. Please make sure NETDB.NLM is loaded and SYS:\ETC\RESOLV.CFG is configured correctly ".
The module NETDB.NLM is loaded and the file RESOLV.CFG is configured of the following way :

Format:
domain <pepito.com>
nameserver <202.64.51.215> <--- this ip is external dns
nameserver <ip_address>
nameserver <ip_address>

I have to open some port in my firewall o i have wrog configured the file RESOLV.CFG???

Some idea??
Thanks you

Bynico:

I've been playing with RESOLV.CFG nonstop for the past few days. Here's a working one:

domain yourinternetdomainname.com
nameserver 123.123.123.123
nameserver 124.124.124.124

No brackets
Format exactly like above.

The domain is the domain that you are expecting email to come to - example - "bynico.com"

You have to be able to ping the nameservers, from inside your firewall, router.

BTW, after you make changes to RESOLV.CFG type "unload NETBM" at the system console and then "NETBM" to reload it. Or simply restart the server.

hth!

What version of Novell are you on? You indicate 5.0 and 5.1. Which one is it? Look at the following links. The first is to a TID about this problem and the second is a TID that will tell you about another version of the NETDB.NLM with a link to download a newer version. Hope this helps.

From Novell....TID10059767 - Can't resolve DNS names from the server
1. Delete and recreate the SYS:ETC\RESOLV.CFG. Recreate this file from INETCFG | PROTOCOLS | TCPIP | DNS RESOLVER CONFIGURATION and reinitialize the system. If server cannot ping by name after, reinitialization, reboot the server.
2. Delete and recreate the SYS:ETC\HOSTS file. Place only your server name and IP address in the HOSTS file and reboot the server. It may not always be necessary to reboot the server, but if it doesn't work without rebooting, try rebooting before discounting this solution.

make sure your router is allowing/not preventing inbound and outbound ports 25 (smtp), 110 (pop3) or 53(DNS). Are you using NAT on the server or router or both? Can you ping the ip address of your DNS server? Have you checked your MX record to make sure everything is correct?
