What do you mean?
What mail server are they trying to access?
I don't see why Linux would interfere with that, unless you assigned the same IP to two computers.
Or do you want those machines to access the Linux mail server? Then you have to tell the Linux mail server to listen on the LAN, not on localhost only.
I need to be able to access the SMTP services on the subject host from other servers on the local network. I cannot.
Please see below for what I hope clarifies the problem
Well, you have not told postfix (assuming you use postfix) to listen on 192.168.x.xxx, only on 127.0.0.1 You can do it with YaST, or directly editing /etc/postfix/main.cf inet_interfaces = all mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost mynetworks_style = host mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::1/128] 192.168.1.0/28 Notice that you probably need to setup a DNS on your LAN, too. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
