UPC Wireless question and smtp email question

bob123456

I'm connected to a upc wireless cisco modem/router using windows wireless management.

To connect I used the password on the back of the router. However, I want to use the Intel wireless software (3945abg) but when I try to set this up I get a configuration failed message.



On the second screen, I am unable to type in the password on the back of the router so I paste it in; I can type numbers in this box though.

On the third screen, in the password (key) box a different combination of numbers/letters comes up each time I tried to this setup.

(I've removed my ssid number)

EMAIL QUESTION.

I'm using thunderbird for email but I'm unable to send email using smtp.upcmail.ie.

Thunderbird has set port 25 and I've opened this on the router.

I'm not using UPC mail, I'm using fastmail.us (http://fastmail.us/). I presume this shouldn't be a problem?

thanks for help.

on the SMTP UPC probably don't allow relaying.

what error do you get? if it's a 550 relay then use fm's smtp server instead, or see if UPC some form of smtp auth

Here's the message I get:

ntlbell

from a command prompt can you telnet to the smtp server on port 25?

Hey there, did you get the first part of that problem with the "Device Ownership Passowrd" solved? I had tried pasting in my router password but I get a checksum failed message. I want to use the intel wireless config also instead of windows but cant get past the password screen. Any help appreciated!

Hi there,

I'm having the same problem. Getting a checksum error after pasting in the UPC router (Cisco EPC2425) password. Anyone have any idea how to overcome this? Cannot uninstall the Intel wireless utility as it is used in a corporate environment as well as at home. It's a windows XP laptop. Any advice would be really appreciated.

CONTROL PANEL --> ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS , select Intel click change/remove - you want to modify settings when next installer window opens.

click Modify and untick WI-FI PROTECTED SET-UP

Restart Intel and you'll only have to type in WEP as normal.
