Title: sme 7.0 temporary dialup needed
Post by: tariqf on July 21, 2006, 11:07:12 PM

I have an sme 7.0 server working fine but we've just moved premises and I need to get me email going temporarily until my broadband is active.

I know there's loads of posts on dial-up but I've spent ages looking through them and cannot figure out a simple guide on how I can set this up.

Please can someone point me in the right direction or explain how I can achieve this? I've notices some people mention a contrib but apparently it doesn't work on sme7. I'm willing to give it a try though if someone shows me where it is.

Thanks in advance

Choose option 2 in the admin console menu. Configure for dialup. When broadband is active, reconfigure again.

Tariqf,
I'm guessing from the above that you mean dial-up connection to your ISP. If so reconfigure the server by logging into the console as admin, then select "Option 2 - Configure this server" One of the menu items is "Select external access mode", from here choose option 2 "Server and gateway - dialup" Then enter the required credentials. You can get more info here:

Specifically section 5.12 Configuring the Server for Server and Gateway Mode – Dialup Access.
If you mean allowing users to dial into the server then that is another story.
