RE: [IMail Forum] DNS question

[Patrick Childers]

I would want to find out which DNS server your client is resolving his nslookup to. Have the client go to a command prompt and do a  ipconfig /all command and post the DNS server(s) that are being used. You could check that DNS server's reply  from a command prompt at your location by typing  nslookup lawrencemuseum.com DNS.IP.ADDRESS.HERE . If it returns the correct info then you know the problem is between his machine and the router/proxy server at his location.
