I can telnet the mail servers ports 110 and 25 from the
Exchange server and 3 out of 5 clients. Two XP clients
are giving me problems and I can not figure out what is
different with these two machines. All have the same
software, all run through the same DSL modem and Exchange
server. There is a client setting that is wrong, does
anyone know what it might be?
Thanks
