can't see local SMTP server in IIS even though smtp is running

I configured a local smtp server in Windows 2000 Server which allows only
some users to send email remotely through authentication.

It works fine and it is running but when I open IIS console it's nowhere to
be seen.

How can I access its properties?

Thank you very much.

If the suggestion from Steve doesn't work, please take a look at the
following article: 297261 IIS 5: SMTP and NNTP Virtual Server Missing in
Internet Services Manager
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;297261


SMTP is dependent on File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
service. If is not installed, SMTP virtual server will not show up in
the IIS Manager.

Hope this helps!

Thank you,

I tried all suggestions - no luck. Thank you very much though.

I had to uninstall and reinstall IIS and then it worked. Very weird.
