a quick (but verbose) musing on setting up an ADSL+Airport combo
and a request for assistance from those who may have been through
this:
Yesterday my flatmate had Bigpond ADSL put on at home and I've been
trying to configure my mail client to use bigponds SMTP server
mail-hub.bigpond.net.au to send out e-mail.
Have you tried telnetting to mail-hub.bigpond.net.au on port 25? If
you don't get a message like
Trying 144.135.24.13...
Connected to mail-bpa.bigpond.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 bigpond.net.au service ready (identifier 135/3064266)
Then there's something wrong.
To do this, go to the terminal and type
telnet mail-hub.bigpond.net.au 25
Type QUIT to stop talking to the SMTP server (assuming it talks to you)
You could also try mail.bigpond.net.au
Have fun,
Shay
