Ari's life journey

Dear life,
I have another invaluable experience today. The story began when I found out that I couldn't send emails using my Outlook, neither could other PCs. Also, when I opened Event Viewer on my server, there were many errors regarding DNS. However, when I told my big boss that our Outlook was having trouble, it turned out that his Outlook was fine, he could send emails. So, I began calling my friends for help. Peter, a friend of mine at Microsoft agreed to give me a hand. Looking into the Event Viewer that I sent him, he concluded that I had several mistakes in setting up my server. Yes, I realized that. But, our network was just fine two days ago. I suspected that our router was causing this, maybe, I needed to adjust some settings or restart my server. So, I restarted my server with a big hope, but, it didn't work out. Our Outlook still couldn't sent internet email. After some time looking into the TCP/IP setting, I wondered, could it be the DNS server's IP? So, I changed the the DNS IP into one of the IPs we have from the ISP, and...... it worked!!! I ran to the server room, there they were, all the emails that I tried to send were coming into my hotmail account. Thank God! Yes!

What a day!
