Can't check email with SMC 7004ABR Router!!!

[jagr10]

Hi, i can't check my email now with my SMC router connected. I tried going into dos and typing in "ping mail" and i took the mail address and copied it into the email program. That won't work. Also, if i used "smtp" that doesn't work either. Both methods work fine without the router. I am with Rogers cable in Toronto if that helps. Please let me know what else i can do to check my email. thanks!

I had the same problem. You have to put in the full server address.

ex. mine used to be "mail". I had to change it to "mail.xx.yyyyyyyyy.net"
i forget how i found it out, i had to ping something, but forget what ATM.
someone pointed me in the direction of a FAQ on the Linksys site, check there.

It should be the same server for both POP3 and STMP (was in my case at least).

Go to the Networking forum.

Does your router allow POP/SMTP traffic to go through?

Good, I thought one of those server combinations might do the trick. I knew it wasn't the router anyway as I use the SMC.

I've never seen an ISP use only "pop" and "smtp" to direct to and from the mail servers. Odd.
