Re: Winsock error after running CEICW

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Found out I made a mistake on the router; forgot to scroll down to the
bottom of the screen and click "Apply". None of the changes I'd made
yesterday were there. Re-did them all and added port 23, clicked "Apply"
went to other screens and came back - everything was still there. Logged
out and reran CEICW, and enabled Terminal Services this time.

ok... the response I got could have been because you have port 23 (Telnet)
blocked in the router, so it may not have been a vaild test. You could
forward port 23 to the external NIC, re-run CEICW and then try Telnet
again.

When you r-ran CEICW, did you enable the firewall and select the services
(including Email), then enable Internet Email and select "use DNS to route
email"?

==================
I ran CEICW about 30 minutes ago to move email from ISP to our Exchange
server. I forwarded port 25 on the router to the external NIC
(192.168.1.10). CEICW ran just as advertised.

I know that it takes awhile to have these changes propagate, but I
decided to see if it was "live" yet, so I went to dnsreport.com and typed
in an email address to check. Got an error for the mail server "could
not connect, Winsock error #10054". Tried a test on the DNS side, and it
timed out trying to "talk" to the mail server.

At this point, should I be concerned?
