Replying to E-mail

[swat]

I have just set up a home network through a router to share an internet connection. The only problem is that when I go to reply or send an email from the "server" it will only work sometimes. It will say "sending" and than just hang there until I tell it to stop. The wierd thing is is that it will work sometimes. I have xp pro on both systems and there are no firewalls set up on my connection or my router. Is it a Port problem?

Please help

I forgot to tell you that the hotmail accounts work just fine, but I think its because they are html accounts.

also I can no longer send files through Messenger, this might be the same problem......ports?
