can't telnet to smtp from client

I have windows server 2003 ent the smtp serverice is started I can't
telnet to port 25 on a client pc on the network but I can telnet to
port 25 from the server running smtp is there something blocking the
port from the network

Hi,

Are these two computers on same subnet?

Can you check and make sure that Windows Firewall is not running on Windows
2003 server?

yes they are on the same subnet and ip scheme. The windows firewall is
turned off on both computers.

Can you ping the server from this client?

Can you telnet to this server from any other client?

I go to start run and type in cmd then hit enter then type in telnet
192.168.0.2 25 (192.168.0.2 being the server address) I have done this
on all my pcs on the network and none of them get a conection but if I
get onto the server itself then I can do the same thing and it gets a
connection.
