FallowEarth Posted January 23, 2006 CID Share Posted January 23, 2006 I've never used an exchange server () but I know that most SMTP servers authenticate by IP address....could it be that your exchange server is rejecting the connection you are on outside of your LAN?

jamaicarocks Posted January 24, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 24, 2006 I guess .... so there is a section for smtp ...i would most likely have to turn it off where it blocks outside ip address ..but I dont see anything like that ... know what to look for really ?
