If you could not ping by IP address before restarting, then that indicates something other than DNS.
However, you say it is working and there was an obvious problem with DNS, so if you can ping by IP now, OK. 13:59 PDT 06/13/02 John Tolmachoff IT Manager, Network Engineer RelianceSoft, Inc.

Did you try pinging by name or IP address? Maybe your DNS cache was poisoned. Len can give you more information on DNS poisoning. John Tolmachoff IT Manager, Network Engineer RelianceSoft, Inc.

Has anyone run into this ????.............The last 2 days I have sporadically been unable to email a particular company. I can neither send them mail nor can I access their web-site. I also can't ping them. They can send us email. However, as soon as I flush the DNS cache on my DNS servers and reboot the imail server I am able to both send mail and access their web-site. A check of the logs in the Imail\spool directory shows nothing (what I mean by nothing is the logs dont even show that the imail server is attempting to connect to the remote site to try and send mail. The postmaster simply returns it as "undeliverable"). I have Imail configured not to relay mail for anyone. Has anyone seen this and if so, do u have a fix?
