Question changing DNS at Network Solutions
Hi,
I have taken over website responsibilites for a company. The company hosts their email in-house themselves. Through Network Solutions I have changed the primary and secondary DNS to ns1 and ns2.newwebhost.com. They can no longer use their email, which I believe is due to them having no MX record now. Do I need to create an MX record through Network Solutions or through the new web host?

Thanks in advance,
Double

Although you've not given much information, most likely through the new webhost. In the future, unless it's a theoretical question, it would be wise to post the real information.

You never know the answer I gave you might be wrong!

exactly as freemans-web said. there's no way for us to know unless you give real information. If you host your domain through your webhost then you set the MX records with them. If you host your domain through your networksolutions registrar (I have no idea if they provide such a service) then you should set the MX records with them.
