    Done the CentOS Perfect LAMP server, ISPConfig
    Server>Router1>ISP Provider
    Clients(WinXPHome)>Router2(bridged)>Router1>ISP Provider

    Clients can:
    >access internet.
    >access Server http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (private IP)

    Server can:
    >assess shared files on Client
    >assess internet

    I need Clients to send/receive mail (for now) using Outlook express.
    (have not done smtp relaying yet)
    Configured OE with -
    POP3 :mail.example.com
    SMTP :mail.example.com

    client1 email:[email protected]
    client2 email:[email protected]
    Incoming POP3 server:mail.example.com
    outgoing SMTP server:mail.example.com
    account name:web13_aaa and web13_bbb
    outgoing mail server requires authentication=Yes
    connection=always connect to this account using LAN
    outgoing SMTP port=25
    incoming POP3 port=110

    error message when send/receive
    The connection to the server has failed.Account:'mail example' Server'mail.example.com'Protocol:pOP3.Port:110.SSL:no.socket error: 10060. Error number:0x800CCC0E

    same for outgoing SMTP port 25

    What am I missing, appreciate any help please

    Have you tried the server's private IP address? Maybe your router doesn't support loopbacks.
    Did you open the ports 25 and 110 in your router's firewall?
