The 006 option sets the DNS Server address. If this is set incorrectly then the Exchange server will not be able to resolve IP addresses, stopping it from sending mail externally.<br />
<br />
To check this - in DHCP Manager, choose the DHCP Options menu. You will have three options - Global, Scope, and Defaults. Each one of these will display the current value for the &quot;006 DNS Servers&quot; option. Check to see if they are set correctly.<br />
<br />
A better idea (and convention) would be to give your Exchange server a static IP address and supply all the other required IP information, such as DNS server address names, Gateways, etc. Remembering to exclude the IP address you use from the DHCP scope.
