    Experiment by switching off your firewall. It it works, then your firewall was blocking communication on port 25.

    Sounds like you can hit the port but the mail server will not allow the actual connection. On IIS SMTP you will see a properties dialog that allows you to specify authentication required, allowed and disallowed servers/IPs, etc. Other mail servers do the same. Confirm you mail server is setup to allow connections from the box you are using.
