Dear All,

I will go directly to the condition I face here.

I have 2 server (named ServerA ip address 100.1.1.1 and ServerB ip address 100.2.1.1)

ServerB is my SMTP server.

Several times happened that ServerA can not deliver email to ServerB.

When I try to trace from serverA to serverB here is the messag eI got in console :

trace ServerB

Determining path to serverB

…

Connecting to ServerB over TCPIP

using address 127.0.0.1 <—here is the problem

Connected to the wrong server ServerA/domain_name using address 127.0.0.1

Unable to connect to ServerB

Error connected to serverB: connection denied. The server you connected has a different name from the one requested.

Any clue.??

Thanks a lot.

Any input are really appreciated.

Dear Stanley,thanks for the answer.

But I have check the host file, and its fine.

Infact if i ping from windows console to the host name it works.

I open and check the server document and nothing’s wrong.

Any other suggestion?

Have you checked your connection documents?

If you have none for that server, try putting one in that points to the correct IP address

Hi Chris,

thanks for your response.

I dont have a connection document directly from ServerA to ServerB but I have connection document from ServerA to ServerZ and ServerZ to ServerB.

ServerZ is our primary server, the topology is star.

Other idea?

Thanks a billions.

Hi Yusuf, have you checked that you can connect form server Z!

you might be able to ping from A -B but is Z can’t connect to B then it wont work.
