Hello,
In the following link windows 2003 server is not mentioned as a supported OS

http://www.nowsms.com/support/faq.htm#WhatdoIneedtoinstallyoursoftware

while in some discussions in this board some users seem to be running nowsms on a windows 2003 server. Please advice whether it is supported or not. If running nowsms on a windows 2003 server makes no problems, it would be my preferred choice.

Yes. Windows 2003 Server is an excellent supported platform for NowSMS.

I've just tried NowSMS on windows server 2003 enterprise edition SP1 and it was unable to establish the smpp connection although the settings I used are the same that I used to connect successfully through windows XP professional sp2. Please advice.
Thank you

What was the error?

Maybe you have the Windows firewall enabled, which can cause some confusion for TCP/IP connections.

The error is:
Unable to connect to SMPP server at IP:Port

I am still facing the same problem even after disabling the firewall.
