From the workstation;
Open CMD prompt.
Type "telnet smtp.servername.com 25"
Press enter. You should get something like this:
Trying ???.???.???.???...
Connected to mail.domain.ext.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.domain.ext ESMTP Sendmail ?version-number?; ?date+time+gmtoffset?
Or, something like this;
********************************************220***********
(in the case of an exchange server)
If you get a time out or anything else, you have a network related
problem. (Firewall, DNS, hosts file, cached data, etc.)
If you do get a valid response, it's something on the workstation. That
will help rule in or out problems with software.

=========================
SBS 2003 Premium, ISA 2004, WSUS, Exchange - all patches/updates current.
Tried last week to switch-over from ISP email (POP/SMTP) to using
Exchange.
Long story - couldn't get it to work, so switched back to where we were.
Now one of the workstations - a Dell Latitude D820 laptop - can't access
the
ISP incoming or outgoing mail servers.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Outlook 2003, deleted and recreated the
account in Outlook, and rebooted many times - still no change. Also
tried
doing a repair from Control Panel >> Add/Remove Programs - no change.
I next tried creating an email account for him on my workstation using
his
info - and it worked - so tried uninstall/reinstall again on his laptop -
still won't work. Also ensured the Firewall Client was working
correctly -
it is.
What am I missing?
