So, you have two routers, (one is the efw) but the other one
doesn't work. 

You realize that each ISP would have their own dns servers,
so only changing the gateway IP might not be enough unless
you're using a common dns service that's not associated with
either ISP. But even then, when changing connections,
remember to flush your workstation's dns cache. 

If you use windows, you can click the Repair button in the
connection properties. Or do it from dos. This flushes
everything nicely.

I know there are no port forwarding issues with 2.1.2, but I
haven't tried the newer betas. You mentioned telnet. From
outside your office, can you telnet on port 25 to your IP
address and get a response from your mail server? I'm
assuming your ISP doesn't block 25.

I recently switched from Comcast cable to Qwest DSL because
Comcast decided to close port 25...

Subject: Re: [Efw-user] Port Forwarding. I have to be
missing something here.

We have one static cable connection and a T1 connection.
Two different
ISP's and addresses.

I see Patricio's response and that does seem to be the
issue.  If I set the
IP settings to use both gateways will that work?

What I'm trying to do is get my router and endian to forward
SMTP traffic to
an email server.  I realize I should be using a DMZ for this
sort of thing,
and that's part of the plan when we use endian.  But for now
we're still in
the growing pains phase.
