Hi, so I was able to get everything installed, and (i think) configured. I can telnet to my 1.x.x.x 25/110 and get the welcome message however, if i try to use outlook to connect it cannot connect. I am using no-ip.com, so that might be the problem, I tried to run Diag's and this is what I got.

Any help is appreciated. I don't have a DNS server, I originally thought this was a firewall issue but I opened up 25 /110 on my firewall/router and it still wont connect. Any suggestions would be awesome!

That failure is not a critical failure.

You may well get that if your modem doesn't support loopback - most home modem / routers don't.
Try using the IP address in your outlook account settings and see if that works
