What you want to do is this: At the Windows box, run Telnet, then click Connect, then type in the new server's name in the Host Name section, then in the Port section replace "telnet" with the number 25. Then click Connect, and hit enter a few times and if you get a Sendmail banner then that means that Sendmail is indeed "listening" to the "server NIC" and you can proceed to viewing /var/log/maillog where the real problem that's keeping you from sending mail is going to be listed.
