[joship]

Hi

I have Eudora 5 on my XP and working fine when I had direct Internet Connection on my computer.Now the Net connection on computer is through LAN (Proxy Server on other machine)...I have changed LAN settings in my browser and I am able to surf well....but I am unable to connect Eudora....I couldn't find any option,what to change in Eudora when your Internet connection changes from Direct to LAN......I'll appreciate if anybody can help me.

Thanks

Joshi

Hello

The POP3 and SMTP protocols used for internet email don't support proxy servers at all, so what you have to do is set up port forwarding on your proxy server to forward incoming requests to the POP3 and SMTP servers at your ISP. You then tell Eudora to use the proxy server as its mail server, so when eudora connects to the proxy, it then connects downstream to the mail server and sends/receives messages, and passes it back to the machine. Error messages are also relayed thus.

The exact method of doing this depends upon your proxy server engine, but general hints:
Port 25 is the default for SMTP servers, so set a rule up to forward incoming packets to port 25 on your proxy to to port 25 on your isp's SMTP server (get this from the Eudora settings).
Port 110 is the default for POP3 servers, so set up a rule to forward incoming packets to port 110 on your proxy to port 110 on your ISP's POP3 server. Again, get this from the Eudora settings.
