Using Local SMTP (Windows 2000 Only)

Note:  If you are using Window XP, you already have SMTP configured; simply keep the default to Use Local SMTP.  If you are using Windows 2000 and if pressing Test does not give you a Successful transmission, read on.

If you are using EasyTaskLink from the confines of a LAN system and your system administrator allows you to configure your outgoing SMTP service you may use this setting.

To configure SMTP service you must configure from Windows:

·     From the Start Menu select Settings…Control Panel…Add/Removal Programs.

·     Click the Add/Remove Windows Components icon at the left hand menu bar.

·         Highlight Internet Information Server (IIS).

·         Click the Details button at the lower right corner of the screen.

·         Make sure the SMTP Service box is checked.

·         Click OK then Next buttons.

Note:  You will be prompted for the Windows system CD to complete this configuration.
