Re: Migration from Exchange 2000 to 2003

Thanks for the reply.

I can ping either box from the other one, both by FQDN and by IP. I can
telnet to both from the other. When I telnet to the EX 2003 machine and
send an email it also hangs in the queue. What's odd is I haven't done
anything to the machine and it's working fine as of right now. Later
today it may not be.
