For how high a value of "any"? That is, how many different ones have you tried? Is one of them the one your ISP says you should use as its mail forwarder? What heppens if you try *my* mail server (comarre.com:25) ... at least we'll be able to look at both ends of that one! Is the result any different if you try to connect from the router itself? And just what *is* the result? Does it just sit there? Say "Connection refused"? Something else? Jim -- the direct answer is that we can't give you much help yet because you haven't told us very much. More details would help. -- ------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"--- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________________________ Hundreds of nodes, one monster rendering program.
