ICS and SMTP problem...
-
Okay, I have multple computers running XP connected to a server machine running Windows 2000 Adv Server with two lan cards, one for the local net and another for the broadband internet connection with Internet Connection Sharing enabled on the broadband connection. Now, I can run a simple e-mail program that will send mail out via SMTP to the server targetted in the e-mail message "To" field. This works fine on any of the machines on the local lan and the message goes anywhere on the Internet I wish to send it. When I run this same program on the server machine (that has just had the OS freshly installed) I keep getting an error message: ERR An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host That happens regardless of where it is sent. When the same program is ran on any of the local net machines, it sends the message any where on the Internet without a problem. Any clues why it would work on the local machines but the server would choke and kick back that error? The message are still being sent through that machine by the local machines over the ICS?
