<pre wrap="">Clement,
I can ping both public address and the domain name.
Name resolution seems to be working
Dominique
<cite>
When trying to connect though a Thunderbird 3, no luck.
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">></span>
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>I know the mail server works... it works with the webmail part - at the
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>office and outside of the office. It also works with TB3 when using the
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>internal IP address of the server on the LAN. But no way to get it
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>working with a domain name.
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">></span>
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>So I figure the problem was with the connection to the server and the
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>resolution of the server name etc... (/etc/hosts, hostmane, or whatever
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>over config file and anything in between the server and the domain provider)
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">></span>
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>Can somehow help me to solve that part ?
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">></span>

<pre wrap=""><cite>Does it work with the public IP address ? If it does, it is a name
resolution problem, otherwise it is most probably a routing or filtering
(as in firewall) issue.
Try to check if the name is resolved correctly when you ping the
hostname, as a first check.</cite>
