You then discovered a whole in your wallet from the repair bills Rob

Do some quotres on more than just little hatches. When my brother in law was 18 he insured a 1.8GL sierra for less than his freind and "SHE" was driving a 1.4 Escort. Rob

the LCD is probably clouded, we have had 1500 lumens and lower that have been ok in a classroom. Rob

We have 4 Toshiba At300's on trial with learnpad accounts. It's probably the most promising thing we have seen so far. Rob

We had lots of trouble with roll calls. Printing and them being wrong. Rob

TeleCx are good guys though, We had our network installed by them in 1999, and bought a Hicom off them in 2K to replace a BT Kingsman. Other local Carlisle suppliers to get ideas from Gemini, System, OnlineSystem, IpRiver, etc... Carlisle is mostly populated with Simens & Samsung vendors. Rob

Lots of other providers in the city. Everyone has their own opinion of the best system to go for. Rob

vtiger was free last time I looked. Rob

although thinking about it, it's probably not the issue. Rob

do you have anonymous connections set for incommin smtp, cant remember where it is off hand. Rob

No, no point in our opinion. It's ( dos (4,6) Windows (Me, Vista ) ) all over again... Had MS on the phone during the week asking about 8 deployment and he was struggling to defend it. Run paint from Metro... what happens, it still opens the ancient crap 16bit thinly disguised app.. and it does it as a desktop app. Total waste of time. Rob

If they have not asked for port 25 on the server , then they can't be expecting to make an inbound connection ( unless they have also asked for a nat from XYZ port on the external IP to port 25 on your server. I suspect they are specifying that the server needs to be able to contact their external SMTP server. Assuming that's the case then your either in luck and your server can connect to external SMTP already. try this from the command line telnet mx4.hotmail.com if the server responds then your HOT if not it's ASA time, and a screenshot of the firewall rules page will be a big help as each situation is different, however there should be a section named INSIDE (may have been renamed) which is where rules from the standard inside interface go. You would place a rule in there with the source as the server , service as smtp destination their server. There's a "Packet Trace Tester" on one of the menus that's also useful for testing and identifying where blocking is occurring. Rob

You can Connect what? You say you have installed nothing else, so what are you expecting to connect to? Rob

Be aware that you will be chasing a limited number of jobs, where there are time served applicants, part trained apprentices, young geeks. The pay at the bottom is BOTTOM. It's taken out ex-apprentice 7 months to get a 3 month trial with a national vehicle mover. What are your current I.T. Skills, Rob

netstat -a | find "LISTENING" will show you what services are listening for inbound connections. Rob

If you have no other software then there is no service running to accept a request to the specified port. Rob

What exactly have you been asked? For an external service to connect to you, your internet service will need a static IP. It would be unusual for a 3rd part to ask for port 25 to be port forwarded Out->In as it's highly likly to conflict with regular mail services. It's more likely they need you to have port 25 un-firewalled on the server for the finance system, or they need the finance system to be able to contact an external server on port 25. Rob

err, what are you trying to port forward to ? Are you running a webserver as testing to port 80 at your external IP has no relation to the fact your outbound web browsing is working. if your running a service on your pc, you need to open it's port on the PC , not NAT. Nat should be done at the router. Rob

questions... In which direction? (from inside to an outside host, or outside to inside)? If the latter do you have a static IP? you will need to configure firewall and NAT If the former then you may need to do nothing. Do you have the login for the ASA. Do you have an on site SMTP server for your incomming mail? Are you sure the requirement relates to the internet firewall and not on the server itself. TT

Used to have a bunch of those lamps, I thought they had been given away ( along with 5 DMX dimmers! and some other gr8 lamps) as he thought they were not needed.. I have been told though that they have actual been found in one of our storage facilities, although possibly damp. Rob

Yep sounds like it's not quite in right. Rob

Someone is going to be paying huge fine as well as compensation to the Distillers! TT

look at shadow copy. Rob

wireshark will only be of any use if you have port mirroring turned on. do you have syslog set up? if not then that may well help. Also are you sure it's network? can you ping when the issue is occuring Rob

if it's 2-3 floors then it will be a hydraulic lift not a winched one. TT
