Re: Faulty Port 25 (SMTP)?!?!

Okay: Thanks Jim once again for your valid feedback which I appreciated.

Hmm, as I stated in my initial report, the fault does not occur with my
other PC and which is connected to the SAME router (not wireless)
AND cable modem. And I also encounter the SAME problem by
connecting myself DIRECTLY (ie. without the router) with my old
56k-modem onto the Internet and by using a complete DIFFERENT
ISP than the one with my cable modem!
So the fault has to be located "somewhere" within this specific PC only.

By the way: On my OE I also have a Hotmail address which (as you know)
uses instead of SMTP/Port 25, a HTTP-Server (ie. a URL to Hotmail).
Now, with this configuration...NO SUCH PROBLEM AT ALL!!
So that's why I'm quite sure that my SMTP-Link (passing thru Port 25)
must be the one corrupted "somewhere" along the line...
