Ok, i think your right, I tried to ping the name of the pop server and I didnt get any reply but i did get a reply when i ping the ip address of the pop server. Here is the setup of how pc is connected to the domain controller: ( i think it might be a configuration issue from my side) 1. Domain controller : ip address: 192.168.1.5 d.G : 192.168.1.254 ( it belongs to dsl so i can get internet) DNS: 192.168.1.5 ( pointing to itself , testing environemnt) 2. PC: ip address: 192.168.1.6 DNS: 192.168.1.5 ( pointing to the domain controller ) As a solution, ill try the solution you mentioned which is inserting a static entry into DNS. Thx again for your help. Regards

hey guys, Hope everyone is doing well. I need some help regarding POP3 emails accounts. I have non domain users who have direct access to the internet , so they can use the outlook by configuring the usual settings for pop and smtp which is normal and working perfectly. Now, when i tried to join these users to a domain, they couldnt access the pop server anymore ( POP3 server is hosted by my ISP ) . I was wondering if its a DNS issue or maybe i have to configure the windows server 2008 to relay or reroute the emails. so my question is how to configure windows server 2008 ( if needed) to Send and receive e-mail over the Internet so that domain users can access the hosted pop3 server. Thanks again and hopefully there is a solution. Regards

Thanks for your help!

Dear all, I have a question regarding giving domain users access to drive D, they dont have any write permissions on the drive even though i havnt set any policies regarding accessing drives. Is there any default policy I should know of ? Thanks
