Our ISP assigned us a new IP address, Subnet mask, Gateway and DNS. I changed the relevant numbers on the E-Smith Server and rebooted, but now we are unable to access our e-mail. The ISP confirms that the e-mail is being delivered to our server.
Other symptoms: When we try to go to our homepage with Win Internet Explorer,
www.cbalaw.com, we get a dns error message, because I think it is looking at our old IP address rather than the new one.
Our e-mail programs (Outlook and Outlook express) likewise are showing an error message when trying to retrieve e-mail.
If we ping our home page, it shows a reply from the old IP number. But if we ping it from outside our office, it shows the new IP number.
Is there some kind of dns cache in the E-Smith server that needs to be cleared? What could this problem be?
