The smtp settings on the win9x clients point to a "name" of an smtp server or to the ip
address of the smtp server?
Have you ever been able to retrieve some mail?
If yes then try:
In your boot scripts add:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr
then in the diald filter put a higher timeout for smtp, pop3 sessions.
If not then the same questions apply:
What kind of ipfwadm rules (Input, Output, Forward) do you use?
And, on a win machine try:
telnet your.pop3.server 110
What does it answer?
Have you set up DNS confiuration for your clients? Either point them directly to your
ISP
DNS servers, or arrange for your linux box to act as the local DNS server which
forwards
clients requests to your ISP DNS servers.
