Failed to connect to mail server

My php program can send mail on php 5. But some of other php programs cannot work on php 5, so I switch to php 4. Now my php program cannot send mail. I use remote smpt server to send mail. I got error:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in htmlMimeMail.php on line 670. Actually I already configured use remote smtp server not localhost. Why php5 can detect my setting in htmlMimeMail.php but php 4 cannot? What should I do?

My server os is windows.

Thanks

Grace

Whats your exact version of php? The smtp_port is only available since version 4.3.0
