pgh Posted December 21, 2000 Share Posted December 21, 2000 I have a network of three computers which share a DSL router. All works fine, except access to the SMTP at my ISP. The #1 computer, where the DSL modem is physically located, has no problem. It is the other computers which have a problem is sending mail. Any thoughts?

Windstorm Posted February 3, 2001 Share Posted February 3, 2001 What software are you using on the DSL computer? I was running winroute pro a while back to share a connection, and this program had its own SMTP server, which in turn used my isp's smtp. In other words, all the connected PC's were using the gateway PC as a smtp server... maybe your software has to be set up to do this. Does your DSL use PPPoE? ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon Posted February 3, 2001 Share Posted February 3, 2001 Shouldn't the router take care of all of the routing I have cable at home and will be buying a router. I though that the cable goes to cable modem then out to router to split to other computers. When you mentioned: "The #1 computer, where the DSL modem is physically located" I think of that as going from cable to cablemodem then to comp #1 then to router. which way is correct?
