Hi Steven,
The DNS is correctly setup and the server which can't read it's own logs,
can read the logs on the other server. The server which can read it's own
logs can't read the logs on the server with the problem.
I am going to take a more direct approach - FORMAT C: followed by SETUP.EXE!!
I really appreciate your time on this problem as I have less hair now than
when I started.
Thanks again.
Aaron
