Vonage There are a couple of other things you can do to rule in or out a problem on your ISP
There are a couple of other things you can do to rule in or out a problem on your ISP side.
1. try pinging the smtp address from your PC; e.g., ping smtp.comcast.net, or whatever name you are plugging into Outlook express. That should resolve the problem of whether that name should or should not have 'smtp.' in the front (most ISPs that I know of do use that as the prefix for their smtp servers).
2. If you can ping it successfully, try telneting to port 25 on that address, again from your PC:
telnet smtp.comcast.net 25
again, replace 'smtp.comcast.net' with your smto address. Port 25 is the port their server listens on for smtp traffic. If you get connected then you know there is no problem on your ISP side, if you get connection refused or timed out then you have a problem you need to talk to your ISP about.
