FireWall problem on win2k8

hi

I've developed a website which does a request to another system to check if
the user has access rights... but this request throws an exception...:
"No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
127.0.0.1:25"

I've googled and found that this is caused by the firewall, I'm not sure
what changes I have to perform on the firewal in order to make this works...

any ideas?

 

I'm not sure what method do you use for authentication, but "127.0.01:25"
indicates that you are trying to connect to SMTP service on your local
computer. SMTP service is definitely not authentication service, so you're
probably doing something wrong.
If you believe that this is OK, then install SMTP mail service on your
server.
