Re: Need Exchange help, using DynDNS service

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

You have to go to a registrar (like www.godaddy.com) and register your
domain name.

Then go to a DNS hosting service like Widge (dns.widge.net) and configure a
DNS zone.

THEN you can do all the stuff that Supergumby talked about. This isn't
stuff you configure on your SBS.

If you're that confused, you may be MUCH better off by hiring a consultant
to do this.
