Microsoft Exchange 2003

Ok, I have set up my Microsoft Exchange 2003 as best as I could as it was my first time ever configuring it. I can send outgoing email no problem but I can not receive it. I know its my MX records and/or DNS records. I need help on configuring them. I have tried the nslookup and going through those steps but to no avail. I have a website and I named the domain the same thing. Could that be my problem as I can not access my website from the server but only from other computers. as far as the TCP/IP settings go, I have a static IP but I set my DNS servers from the ones listed on my router. My router is configured to allow port 25. My Exchange is located on my Domain Controller and I only have one server. Can anyone please help me? My website is www.nemosolutions.com and my domain is nemosolutions.com. Should I rename my domain and start over? Thanks for any help.

You should allow incoming port *** 110 -POP3 , and 143 - IMAP,.
Port 25 - SMTP is only for sending Email , and for Incoming, u should allow these ports above.
Another is, DNS should be your Domain DNS server(IP add), not Modem's DNS(it's IP address). Then forward DNS information to your ISP's DNS. It's better for connection and exchange DNS information from your domain with other one.

Good luck
