Jimothias Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 Hi all, first post, so be forgiving! Got a problem with a newly built Windows 2000 SBS. It's been successfully running now for over 2 weeks, but shortly after the build the modem (56k) started to dial out about every 10 mins. Exchange has been set to only dial at 9, 11, 1, 3 and 5 during the corse of the day Monday to Friday. I recreated the ISP account and reconfigured the exchange to collect the mail again, and low behold the swine starts to dial again!! However it did not try and dial at all until after the exchange schedule had been reset.Has anyone come across this before, it's puzzled me somewhat, and thinking makes my brain hurt!! Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimothias Posted June 3, 2003 Author Share Posted June 3, 2003 Well thats another thing, it was doing it before we upgraded the server (previously NT Server with Exchange 5.5) to 2000 SBS with an older modem. It was doing it with the old modem (33.6k) and we had bought a 56k to upgrade. The upgrade went in fine, then 5 mins later...you guessed it! It starting dialing again, doing nothing, then hanging up...then dialing....INFURIATING!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
