#4 JES not finding DNS server

[Jim Holton]

Hi, I am trying to get JES installed on a windows vista box. I seem to be having an issue with connecting to a DNS server. Here is the output from the lookup.bat program:

C:\Users\Jim>cd \ess\jes

C:\ess\jes>cd bin

C:\ess\jes\bin>lookup "" "" MX expenseservices.com
Performs a DNS Lookup using dnsjava against a DNS server for a domain.
Must be called from the directory where the script resides.
"Usage: lookup.bat <dns server="" address=""><dns search="" suffix=""><lookup record="" type="">"
" <domain to="" lookup="">"
Example: The dns server is located at address 192.168.1.1, the search suffix is
example.com, the record type is MX (typical for a mail server) and the
domain is ericdaugherty.com:
lookup.bat 192.168.1.1 example.com MX ericdaugherty.com
Example: Letting dnsjava detect the settings and the lookup concerns a MX record

     of type MX for the ericdaugherty.com domain:
      lookup.bat "" "" MX ericdaugherty.com

Results:
adding server 192.168.1.1
lookup expenseservices.com. MX
unknown
Sending to 192.168.1.1:53
ExtendedResolver: got java.net.SocketTimeoutException
Sending to 192.168.1.1:53
ExtendedResolver: got java.net.SocketTimeoutException
Sending to 192.168.1.1:53
ExtendedResolver: got java.net.SocketTimeoutException
expenseservices.com: timed out

I am running Java 7:

C:\ess\jes\bin>Java.exe -version
java version "1.7.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_25-b17)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 23.25-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

The DNS works with all my other apps. Here's the output from ipconfig /all:

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

And, I just downloaded JES so it should be the latest version. The POP3 port will come up, but runs slow. The SMTP port is bombing.

Any input or suggestions will be helpful.

Thanks in advance.
