Hi Michael
The situation is the following. The Win2k is the DC and
internal server. The Win2k3 is the gateway to the
Internet and has Winproxy installed on it to do that and
it acts as DNS server. In addition it is the mail server,
so far using Windows SMTP/POP3 services. But we want to
try Exchange and a requirement is that it has to be part
of a domain. This computer has 2 NICs one that connects
to the ADSL and the other to the internal network. Both
NICs have as the DNS setting the IP of the internal
network. If we do not have it that way the SMTP service
cannot resolve host names.
I even tried to have the DC as the DNS server and then
relay for the names it couldn't resolve to the DNS
servers from the ISP, to discard it was a problem with
the DNS. But it didn't work either.
I found the following on the file
C:\WINDOWS\Debug\NetSetup.log
