Hi,
I've posted this in elsewhere but I think it is most appropriate here.
I have a Windows 2000 SP4 box which cannot telnet on port 25 by name,
hostname, or ip to any of many smtp servers on local lan. It can't even
telnet port 25 to itself. No gateways, proxies, DMZ, firewalls nothing.
This situation has left me with the problem that I can't send e-mails
anywhere with this box.
All other machines can telnet 25 to all other smtp servers including
the suspect machine.
It comes back immediately with the error message you get if you telnet
port 25 to a fake address (which takes a couple of mins scouting before
it returns the error). Yet it can telent port 110 to anything for
example.
I suspect a corruption in ip but i may be wrong. What is best way to
reload/rebind it if this is actually the cure.
TIA
Tony
