Question : Cannot ping from exchange 2003 server to domain controller (request timed out)
|
|
I have a strange situation. I can ping any computer on my LAN, except the domain controller (I'll call DC) from my Exchange server (I'll call MAILSERVER), but (the strange part) my server, DC, can ping MAILSERVER. But I can connect to DC's shares from MAILSERVER and all other computer on the LAN can ping DC. Windows firewall is not setup on either box, nor is IP filtering, they are connected to a Netgear GS724T Gigabit switch. Doing an nslookup from MAILSERVER, I get the IP of my DC server. Also, my Outlook clients are getting popup windows saying "trying to connect to exchange server". Below is ipconfig, nslookup, and ping results. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Interesting item is IP Routing Enabled on your dc. Are you using Routing and Remote Access on this machine. Is the firewall associated with that on?
