with some custom features for a personal computer that uses comcast cable.
The owner of the computer said she doesn't have a comcast email and uses
gmail instead, but the internet service provider is comcast. This computer
also does not have MS Office loaded - otherwise I would open Outlook and see
what mail server it is using.
On my development machine at my home, I use dsl and can access the mail
server from my dsl provider which is the same mail server that my Outlook is
using (actually, I got the mail server from Outlook). And on my workstation
at the workplace (which uses comcast), I can also reach the mail server from
my dsl. But on my friend's personal computer, I could not reach the mail
server from my dsl provider or from her comcast provider. Bottom line - I
don't really know how mail servers and email work - too well. I found a
sample email smtp client app on the net (in C#) which I was able to apply to
my personal computer at my home, and also at my workplace. But same code not
working on my friend's computer - it either can't resolve the mail server or
access denied.
Is there a way I could find what mail server is available for this computer
the way Outlook would find it without having to load Outlook on this
computer?
Thanks,

will have to enter it yourself.
There is one way you could find it.that is by port scanning the the
netwrok. but i think comcast is not going to like it.
About your connectivity problem... i am not sure if got it right.. but
if you are trying to say that you cannot send email from you comcast
network using ur dsl mail server, it might make sense. I had a similar
problem where comcast would not let me send email using outlook(work
email server). I had to use their(comcast) mail server
Also if your client is using gmail then you could use gmails servers.I
believe comcast only blocks port 25 for sending mail and gmail uses
some higher port number.
