Here is the setup, Win2000 server running winproxy 5, a linksys router and 4 Mac OS X clients. Testing out setup to share a satellite connection. Got everything working except one thing. I am getting an error when launching mail in OS X, error connecting to port 110. I have checked winproxy settings and the router, everything seems correct. How do I open the port on win 2000 server. I have read that you have to edit the registry but I can not locate any info on how to do it. Thanks for any help.

WinProxy will cause the port to open, don't worry. You'll need to check the router again. Get a free port scanner, ensure all network addresses in question has port 110 open.

Thanks, but I took the router out of the loop and used a
hub, same error ( The server error encountered was: The
server ?incoming.verizon.net? can not be contacted on port
110.) It only does this if I go through the proxy server. And
I am using win 2000 pro not server like a stated before. I
have tried lowering all the security in win proxy and tried
the port filtering per the manual. I still think it is windows
blocking the port. How do I open it on windows?

Thanks, It was the mail settings. I did not point it to the
proxy correctly. Thanks for your input.
