Solution 1

Your problems are many.

1 - you use txt speak, like a moron
2 - you don't tell us the error message

I'd say the odds are good that this is not a public server, and so the code you've given does not work because it can't connect to the server, but it's impossible to know ,based on this lack of information.

It can be because of various reasons. You need to look at them one by one.
Is the port open? Firewall permissions in place?
Further make sure you have configured SMTP configuration in Web.Config:

<system.net>
   <mailSettings>
     <smtp from="abc@somedomain.com">
       <network host="somesmtpserver" port="25" userName="name" password="pass" defaultCredentials="true" />
     </smtp>
   </mailSettings>
</system.net>

If needed, have a look at this Microsoft Video tutorial:
