Hello Francois, > I would say: install a DNS server. There are free one.
A customar of me found another solution. He did not wanted to install a DNS server (donno wy), but added an entry in the RAS dialup settings for a local domain. This works also, the SMTP server got a 'domain not found' from the ISP DNS server, then tryed to connect with the RAS settings, witch sayed it was a local IP on the LAN. --- Rgds, Wilfried [TeamICS] http://www.overbyte.be/eng/overbyte/teamics.html http://www.mestdagh.biz Saturday, October 15, 2005, 17:15, Francois PIETTE wrote: >> Maybe the only workaround is write a DNS server ? > I would say: install a DNS server.
