When i do an nslookup for MX records i get a response back

DNS server handling your query: localhost
DNS server's address: 127.0.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
*** Can't find adtell.com: No answer

Authoritative answers can be found from:
adtell.com
origin = NS79.WORLDNIC.com
mail addr = namehost.WORLDNIC.com
serial = 2008010200
refresh = 10800
retry = 3600
expire = 604800
minimum = 7200

When i query the A record

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: adtell.com
Address: 64.9.94.219

The DNS forward lookup zone in Windows 2003 shows adtell.com with 3 MX
records but when i do the nslookup from an external site it does not
show any MX records. How can i get the MX records to display?


I have an Host A record for www
Thanks

Let's see:
========================
c:\>nslookup
> set q=mx
> adtell.com
Server: london.nwtraders.msft
Address: 192.168.5.200
adtell.com
primary name server = NS79.WORLDNIC.com
responsible mail addr = namehost.WORLDNIC.com
serial = 2008010200
refresh = 10800 (3 hours)
retry = 3600 (1 hour)
expire = 604800 (7 days)
default TTL = 7200 (2 hours)
> exit
========================

Yep, I got the same thing you did. Apparently an MX record was not created
for adtell.com. I did find your www.adtell.com, the blank domain entry
adtell.com, as well as mail.adtell.com, but not the MX record. You will have
to go to Network Solutions DNS management section and create an MX entry and
point it to mail.adtell.com.. If not sure how, consult the files or
give them a call.

btw, you'll want to change the DNS address in your machine's IP properties
to use the actual IP address and not the loopback.

Is your AD DNS domain name adtell.com?
