Hi,
Recently our lynksys firewall gadget crapped out. We are connected using a cable modem so I (temporary measures) hooked up a hub and got connectivity but now we are having trouble with the mail. Specifically sending mail. The error code I get points to port 110 not LISTENING. If I understand correctly, mail uses ports 25 to read and 110 to send. If I do a netstat -an I see TCP 0.0.0.0:25 .... LISTENING but no entry at all for port 110. How do I tell port 110 to start listening? If I go to the connection properties the "Settings" button is disabled. So I can't even try to add a port
netstat allows you to view port information is there a command that allows for the setting of individual ports?

Any help is very much appreciated.

Regards,

If the port is not listening you need to look at the config of your mail
service, not the config of tcp/ip. You cannot "add a port" in TCP/IP, you
need to configure your Pop mail service to open tcp 110.
