So if I do a Properties on the VMware interface in Network and Sharing Center it says there is no internet access but that's not true because the virtual machine has internet access. It also has assigned itself a 192.168.x.x address which is not the class that I'm set up for. I'm set up for class A. EVerything seems to be working though except for this postfix thing so I'm confused. Why would Apache work just fine but postfix have all these issues?

Also it appears that I'm able to hit the box now though right? So the actual connection issue is solved. It's connecting but now we have an authentication issue right?

Im setting up a CentOS box, no virtual, now to test and see if it's the virtual thing. I just happened to have an old Dell 3000 kicking around so Im dusting it off and going from there. When I get it configured Ill let you know.

Ok so the box is setup and running and where I'm at now is I can't seem to authenticate. The error message I get is: "Trying to log into this SMTP account failed. Verify that the username and password are correct."

I know they are correct so any thoughts about this? Thanks.

So I sent a test message to the account from another account and I got a message back. Here's what it says:
