I would suspect it is simply down to the Port number. For trying to find problems like this in the future though, you should try and see what the error messages you get from a Try - Catch statement

try
{
   //code in here
}
catch (System.Net.Mail.SmtpException exsmtp)
{
    throw new Exception(exsmtp.ToString());
} 
catch (Exception ex)
{
   throw new Exception(ex.ToString());
}

You will get a lot of use(less) information from this :)
