While trying GBRIDGE I installed it in machine with a Exchange Server, after installation the server stopped sending e-mails with DNS problems.

I check the address translation with NSLOOKUP. All DNS requests are answered by a server at address 10.239.255.254 which I understand is a GBridge DNS Server. This server is not resolving MX addresses and right now it is not resolving anything.

Is there a problem with the server or is there some configuration I should change?

Does DNS work properly on other application, i.e. browser? Is there anything special about the Exchange Server?

Gbridge's built-in DNS server should only resolve online hosts that within gbridge.net domain, e.g. mymachine.myusername.gbridge.net.

Can you post or pm "ipconfig /all" result ?

There is nothing special with the Exchange Server and I had to uninstall gbridge, simply LOGIN OFF was not enough to solve the problem, so I can't send you the IPCONFIG unless I re-install it.

But it is strange:

Using IE everything works as you said, ordinary sites like Google, Wikipedia, Amazon work fine and any *.gbridge.net address is also correctly translated.

That works even with Terminal Service (MSTSC.exe), remote addresses outside gbridge.net are resolved.

However, Exchange gets confused and, as I said, the NSLOOKUP in a DOS PROMPT always try to resolve addresses through gbridge, which does not work for any internet address.
