Re: Port 25

Many thanks for anyone who posted in reply to this, I have sorted the problem.

The reason that i want port 25 open for incoming is that I have something listening on the port.

The problem was however a config error of my own making.

For general information on ports and for example web pages / http / webservers generally run on port 80, it would be possible for ntl if they wanted to block access to this port to your house/building. This would not prevent you accessing web pages, it would prevent access from the outside world to your house on port 80 thus preventing you from running a web server in your home.

Many thanks for the replies,

Lee
