Question : Can't telnet to localhost 25

Hi,

I’m in a Windows 2003 Active directory environment. I have a Windows 2000 server which has a local SMTP server. I can telnet port 25 from my computer. (XP) But I can’t telnet to the port 25 internally. I meant, in that particular server when I tying C:\telnet localhost 25 is getting following error message.

C:\>telnet localhost 25
Connecting To localhost...Could not open a connection to host on port 25 : Conne
ct failed

I have Network Admin previligaes for my user account in XP machine.

Please advice !

check that the included firewall is letting traffic through to port 25
