OK, I have 2 e-mail accounts, one from hotmail, and the other from my university. It appears that my university doesn't allow connections to be made to the SMTP server from outside the university (even if I log onto the server!) as I am using AOL I cannot provide another SMTP address to the Outlook XP e-mail account to allow me to send e-mail from my university e-mail address. (since AOL doesn't use SMTP :o( harsh!) and hotmail is out of the question, as they don't have an SMTP sendmail address I can get to.
As a result, I cannot send any e-mail from my university e-mail account on either my client or server PCs (two PCs WinXP and Wingate (with ENS and VPN on server, just XP on client, connected via Cat 5e crossover cable)
Is there any way I could configure Wingate's SMTP server to be used to send e-mail from my university address (by adding a wingate SMTP server address into both my client and server PCs in Outlook?)
If I've not made sence just ask me where you're confsed, I've been sent around the houses by everyone today, my university say it's AOL's fault, AOL say it's my university (and my network adminstrator's fault) except I'm the network admin, and I'm only 19, still learning I'm afraid
Thanks
