Cannot set up FM Server Email Notifications

I have a feeling this is due to a incorrectly set up server setting, but I figured I would ask here anyways...

When I enter the smtp information in the email notifications, I get an error that says "SMTP test failed, Cannot connect to SMTP server. Check the SMTP settings an email address." Settings and e-mail address are correct.

I am using Filemaker Server 11 with Mac OS X 10.6.

Please be gentle with me as, while I am very comfortable with Filemaker, I have no idea how to setup a server, I am in the process of learning.

What am I doing wrong?

Where should I start troubleshooting?

For what it's worth. On the server machine, I cannot load any external webpages, connect to any email account, pretty much access any content outside of the server machine...

Wow, I am less knowledgeable than ever. Just wasn't connected to the internet. Problem solved.
