Hi, all.
I recently purchased a cheap Netgear router and
am unable to send any email messages (port 25).
I can receive, and it seems all other basic internet
dealings are normal. I've owned several routers in
the past (mainly Linksys), and have never had this
problem.
Oh, it behaves the same over wi-fi and when wired
to the router.
Thanks,
~swooz

Why do you suspect the router? Maybe your AV e-mail scanner or
firewall are blocking port 25. Bypass your router and see if the
problem remains.

Did you do a hard rest of the router?
Maybe, the firmware is sick and the router needs to be re-flashed.

I have no AV or firewall running on my PC. And I am able to send at
wi-fi cafes (with Windows Firewall running, of course ;-) ). I'll
cycle power on the router, then reflash it if still broken, as the
other guy suggested.
Thanks!

First off, what are the settings on the router? Do you even know if
it's configured? It could be configured for 'most' people, but out of
the box or after a 'push the red button and hold it for 30 seconds'
hard reset it should not pose any problems...

Not sure if this is the issue, but my ISP (Cox in Orange County) seems
to block Port 25 to all traffic except them. I can POP email from
anywhere, but for consistency, I always send PORT 25 traffic to them.
Most email programs (Outlook, OE, Thunderbird), allow for different SMTP
and POP3 settings. I have used DLINK, LINKSYS, NETGEAR Wireless
routers, and they all behave the same...
Most Wireless Routers have Wired Ports. So I would first 1) Put your PC
on the Network (Cable, DSL, T1, etc), and see if Port25 works there.
Then put your Netgear router, and without changins settings, see if
PORT25 works there, then try over wireless.
