Hi Doug I have ran the CEICW again this time without enabling the built-in
firewall and you know port 110 is now open and email from out side my office
is working now. I am now running the CEICW again to enable built-in firewall
but this time adding POP3 port 110 tcp. Email now works great. Just an after
thought Should I use a different firewall other than the built-in one like
Kiero Winroute.

Thanks

Joe
