I'm pretty sure its not a routing problem. I'm starting to think it might be my DSL modem. I was able to telnet on the local machine. I'll have to test telnet to the box within the network later. I know it can't have an IP sharing issue. The DHCP range starts at 100 and this box is at 10. (4th octet).
I'll let everyone know what I find when I get myself to the network where the box is at.

Maybe something will shake loose... - Just for grins, run through the process of sending with telnet using ip addy on the local machine. Here's an example to follow how to do this: http://www.netadmintools.com/art276.html I'm sure it will work but what the heck... - Have you looked at tcp.smtp? Do you have anything that might cause this in there? - Is it at all possible you have another machine on the network with the same IP? Pull the nic cable and ping the ip. - This one's a reach but worth a shot, maybe a switch problem? Try putting the server and one other machine on the same switch with NOTHING else connected, not even the rest of the network, and test. In these cases I try to break things down into smaller bits and walk my way in or out. Phil > In my last reply, I lied. I can now telnet to the local address through > console just fine.
