Hi all,

I am new to router setting. Please help.

I use my notebook and Outlook Express to send/receive e-mail in my company, the Outlook express port setting "In the advanced tag" is Outgoing STMP - PORT 25, also click on the SSL(Q) Incoming POP3(I) - PORT 995, also click on the SSL(C) So, I can receive and send out e-mail in my company.

However, when I bring the notebook back to my home, I use Linksys WRT54G ( wireless router) . I can only recieve e-mail in Outlook express, but can not send out.

I think it is my port setting in the Linksys. Can someone help?

Thank you. :-)

This is probably a restriction by your company, not a problem in your router. Ask the IT people if they support sending email from outside the company, and if so, how to do it. Or simply use a different email server (e.g., free Google Mail) for outgoing mail outside the company.

Most likely your ISP is blocking port 25 but what you could do is to buy alternative-port SMTP service which provide authenticated smtp access via other ports.

No-ip.com provide such service

But first contact your ISP to find out if they are actually blocking port 25.
