I installed exchange2K in a win2K server.
Today, I found the mail sentto this domaim "oaktree.it" has been return by
server. But I can sent mail to other address. The return message is like "
this following receipt can not reach....".
I use nslookup to resolve this domain. I found I can not get the MX record
of this domain.
But I can get MX record of any other domain.

Please kindly give me a hand!

I was able to get it:
> set q=mx
> oaktree.it
Server: london.nwtraders.msft
Address: 192.168.5.200

oaktree.it MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.engitel.com
oaktree.it MX preference = 20, mail exchanger = mail2.engitel.com
mail.engitel.com internet address = 80.247.73.152
mail2.engitel.com internet address = 212.56.160.144

Are you using a forwarder? If you tried with a different server, say
4.2.2.2, does that work? To do that, type in:
nslookup
server 4.2.2.2
then enter your commands.

Can you give us a sample nslookup output please with the -d2 option? To
invoke that, type in
nslookup -d2
then enter your commands.

Thank you Ace very much!

This situation occur two twice.
Normal it happened after the Win2K updated from website automaticly.
Today, I try to update the driver of NIC.
It's been resolved.
I think it's caused by the software bug.
I remember a tool Microsoft provide can reset the TCP/IP settings.
But I forget the name of it.
Can you kindly tell me it!

Thanks again!!!

You can first try netdiag /v /fix to reset it. I believe with Win2000, you
would reinstall TCPIP. In Win2003, you can resete it wtih netsh. THere's a
link for Win2003 and netsh, but since you have 2000, I don't think it
applies.

Here's how to reinstall TCPIP:
