I am getting ready to transfer domain for a client to another ISP.

Transfer what - the DNS hosting? If you're setting this up with another
provider (ISP isn't really the best name) have them preconfigure the zone
with all the settings you need (A record such as mail.mydomain.com which
points at the correct public IP, primary (or sole) MX record pointing at
that A record).

Then when you flip over to the new name servers, it's ready to go.

If you are also changing ISPs (i.e., the people who provide the actual
connection) you would best do this in two stages - set up the new zone with
the new DNS host with identical settings to the old one (meaning, the old IP
address would be specified), and then make the changes (new ISP's IP
address) after.

This is something you need to have arranged well ahead of time, usually -
and you would want to make the change on a Friday night or something unless
the old DNS host has set a low TTL (

I
set up the new router and got them on the Internet with the new IP
address, but was unable to complete the transfer, need to wait for
the Web Page designer.

What does the web designer have to do with it?

I put the old DSL modem back in place. Client can get on the Internet, can
send external e-mail, but cannot
receive external e-mail.
Did something get mess up in Exchange when I put the new DSL modem in
place (different IP address)?

You shouldn't have needed to change anything internally - what *did* you
change? Only your public IP settings would change.....and you shouldn't have
any public IPs referenced internally at all. I'm presuming you've got a
router/firewall in place and are not just connecting your ISP's router/modem
directly to a NIC on your server (which is not recommended).

Thank you for your help in advance!
