The message could not be sent to the SMTP server. The transport error code was 0x800c

Hello,
I have created a web form and I want the contents to be mailed to my mail id. The code works fine if launched in local server that visual studio provides. The code is written using C#..When I try launching it in my office server, the following error msg pops up

The message could not be sent to the SMTP server. The transport error code was 0x800ccc15. The server response was not available

I thought may be server could not be reached.... and I tried pinging my server using command promt..I received reply packets as well...Can anyone suggest me a possible way out.

Thanks in adv
Ani

You need to check the firewall settings. Where is the mail server? Can you authenticate? Does it allow relaying?
