WinRoute Pro installation notes

E-mail: Here's a few tips to help you get started with the e-mail server of Tiny Software's WinRoute Pro: Enter your ISP's outgoing mail server into the Relay SMTP server field under the General tab. If you have a domain, enter it in the space provided. Use the Remote POP3 tab to enable WinRoute to receive "blind-forwarded" e-mail from your ISP, and distribute it to your respective user accounts. If you have an Internet domain, you can set it to receive e-mail via SMTP or from any POP3 account. However, if you're using SMTP, you must map the TCP protocol Port 25 to the internal IP address of your WinRoute machine.

DSL and PPPoE: Although PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) support isn't built into WinRoute Pro, it should work fine with external PPPoE equipment such as that often used with various DSL connections. Tiny has thoughtfully provided some specific PPPoE solutions in its online manual.
