Hi GuruZZZZZZZ ,
I'm running a freebsd 4.4 gateway connected to
earthlink dsl .
i can use almost all ip services using any box on the
lan 9 mirc ftp http pop3 etc ...)
only problem i have is with smtp .
i cannot connect to any smtp servers out there .
i tried telneting to port 25 of the servers from the
freebsd box but get "connection timed out" .
i can ping the host .
for example :
ping smtp.mail.yahoo.com will work but telent
smtp.mail.yahoo.com will not .
i am not running any firewall ( rc.conf -
firewall_enable="NO" )
and i use the nat enable yes in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf .
please let me know if there's any more tests i can do
/ more info you need .
thanks 
Bara Zani
