assuming you dont have a firewall blocking anything
and that the windoze box is on the same wire/hub as kimber
on kimber...
make sure in.pop3 or equivalent is listed in /etc/hosts.allow
ipop3: localhost, 192.168.xx.0/255.255.255.0
( you should see similar entries for wuftpd, in.telnetd
( if the mising ipop3 is the problem
make sure pop3 or equivalent is listed in /etc/inetd.conf or
/etc/xinetd.conf/ipop3
# disable = yes
disable = no
restart inetd
kimber# telnet localhost 110
...blah Pop server read ..
quit
other windoze_pc# telnet kimber 110
than it should work from the windoze email clients - outlook,netscape,etc..
-- after all that works.... use "secure pop3 instead"...
