How did you check my ports in my IP? I telneted the ports from an external
machine and couldn't connect to both ports (80 and 25). How did you connect
to port 80? I'm using Windows telnet program, just putting the IP and port
number and trying to connect. Is there a more low level way of doing that?
Because if port 80 is ok and 25 is not, then the problem is with firewall.
However, if I can't connect to 80 I cannot check if port 25 is ok.
Thank you
