Cool. >Sunday, I installed a Linksys DSL router. SIMS remained where it was.

I run SIMS from behind a Linksys router (the one with the 4-port switch and wireless antennas, cost a pretty penny, but is worth every cent) and didn't bother with the DMZ. Since I have local access to the machine and just needed it accessible to the world in case I needed to send mail from elsewhere, I just told the router to forward ports 25 and 110 to the box with SIMS (i.e. I don't need to change passwords remotely, so I didn't open the port). It works flawlessly. >For the most part, everything worked as expected. Except mail to two >different destinations wouldn't go out most of the time.

If not the latest version, considering upgrading -- just get a TFTP client (I use MacTFTP) and download the drivers from the Linksys site. -- Pete Stephenson HeyPete.com ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
