RE: How to tell if port 25 for SMTP is enabled

Hi Ronnie..!

For Port Forwarding the following configuration is required on Dlink G604t
Router:

1. To use port forwarding, Firewall Support must be enable ( See
Enable/Disable NAT and Firewall in Advanced Security menu )

2. To configure Port Forwarding for any IP Address on LAN, you must first
configure LAN Clients to add static address.

Advanced ---> Port Forwarding ---> a.) Choose a connection; b.) LAN IP
(configured using LAN Clients) ; c.) Category -- Server ----> Select SMTP
---> Click Add.

....thats all u need on the Router..... and then check if u can connect to
your exchange server.

Regards
Sohrab
