Hi, Me again! I put the server in question (Mail - be good everyone!) into server and = gateway mode. Made sure that the correct net cards were assigned to the correct duties = (As I could ping correctly). And then rebooted. Now I could get into the manager using a SSH tunnel to port 980 ok. The problem is this. Even with the mail retrieval set to "Public" no = machines inside our internal router can get to it. So I assume as can't = any other machines on the net - to download IMAP and POP mail that is. = As our internal router as far as e-smith si concerned should be the same = as any other machine on the "net". Why is this so? If the machine is in server and gateway - I must be able to get at the = email system when "public" is set. I even rebooted the server in case = the hot change was somehow broken. I also rebooted my PC - the client = to make sure. Not that it matters as the IP is still the same. Basically in outlook - I would not get a "can't connect error". It = would just sit as if it was downloading a 1000000 TB file over a 2400 = baud modem. Netscape was the same - but it eventually gave up saying the server must = be down. I know I am missing something here - and I know that I am at fault - = some help would be nice. :) Cheers, Richard.
