I run win 2003 server on my laptop as I develop asp.net (vb.net) websites locally on it using Visual Studio 2005.

In the past I had an smtp server running on the machine, so when I wrote code which sent out emails using smtp in my asp.net I could test them.

A few months ago my old laptop broke down and I had to buy a new one. Iv'e set this up with win 2003 server but am unable to remember how I got the smtp working. I think I want something similar to this:


but in win 2003 server.

Iv'e installed a Default SMTP Virtual server which appears under IIS, but I cannot set this to localhost as when I select properties the IP_address box just has only 'All unassigned' in the box but won't let me add 127.0.0.1 even if I click on the advanced button then the add button, it will only allow me to select from th list box and 127.0.0.1 is not in there.

Can anyone advise me how to set this up
Thanks

Doh, figured out how to get 127.0.0.1 in the list - just needed to turn off my internet connection, then it appears
Sorry
