Running SBS 2003 and Exchange is sending but not recieving
Hello,
I just upgraded an external router (Netgear) on my SBS 2003 server which is hosting its own email. During the switch I changed the local IP address of the server from 192.168.1.128 to 192.168.1.10. I configured the ports for the router to reflect this change. I can access OWA and Remote Desktop fine and I can also send out email fine but, I cannot receive email. Please help!

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Make sure that you have forwarded port 25 to your server's new IP address on the Netgear router.

Its so interesting. I changed the IP address for the server back to what I originally switched it from (192.168.1.12*) and now it works. I thought that when you make an IP address change everything else should follow.
Thank you for all of your comments and ideas. I appreciate it.

I am sure that SBS has a wizard for changing the IP address which should be used for these types of things. I haven't got an SBS to hand at the moment to check.

The router was the culprit. Running telnet revealed this.
