Also, in almost all cases nowadays you must be on the same network as your ISP account to access their SMTP servers. IOW, if you have a Comcast account you must be connected to the Comcast network to access their SMTP (outgoing) server.

This is where services like Gmail are really handy as they are accessible from any 'net connection.

For info on setting up the ports and authentication for Gmail, log into your account there and look for the links to access the POP/SMTP settings. There is a detailed explanation available.
