Open Ident...Port 113 1

[dr486]

Can anyone tell me how to open Port 113 on my firewall as ive been told that this could resolve my mail authentication issue

ok...
1) who told you that:?
2) what kernel/ filtering utility are you running?

If you are using Sendmail set the following entry to 0 in your sendmail.cf file:

O Timeout.ident=0

That will speed up your connections.

I was told this by my ISP...they already have my username and password so i dont have much to worry about there...unless someone has subclassed my ISP...then i'll have something to worry about.

thanks
