Telnet to Localhost but not Server IP |
|
|
I am able to telnet to my mail server using:
telnet localhost 25
but cannot telnet to the mail server using the servers IP:
telnet 192.168.0.1 25
Does anyone have any idea why I cannot access the mail server this way.
Server OS = Windows 2003 and Mailserver = Mailmax 5.5.
Thanks for any help or ideas.

Hi Brent,
what is the error that you get? Access denied, timeout, ...? If you run
netstat -an
do you see IP address 192.168.0.1 listening on TCP port 25'
Do you have personal firewall enabled on Windows 2003?

The error when trying to telnet to IP is: Could not open connection to the
host, on port 25: Connection failed
I ran netstat -an and port 25 is open for the localhost but not for the
192.168.0.1. Thats interesting why would the localhost be open but not the
actual IP.
I am not running any personal firewall on the server but I do have a netopia
firewall for external access.

If there is nothing listening on TCP port 25 on IP address 192.168.0.1 make
sure that your mail service (Mailmax) is running and has correct IP address
assigned...

Thanks Miha,
I found the there was a setting in Mailmax which needed to be set to open in
on the IP. Thank you very much for your help.
