Help, can not send mail via my router, I think port setting

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 http://www.no-ip.com/services/manage...5_unblock.html

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