Do you get an Error. or nothing at all?

If latter - and I'm guessing that to be the case - something is wrong to sendmail on your hosting machine...
No idea why, but sometimes my sendmail seems to have trouble in sending emails even though mail itself send me TRUE and as manual states:

It is important to note that just because the mail was accepted for delivery, it does NOT mean the mail will actually reach the intended destination.

And I feel that your code is good, although lacking any security checking...

<?php  

ini_set("SMTP","mail.domain.com");                     // i dont know if you need these added in or not
ini_set("sendmail_from","[e-mail]");            //but to send from local host you need to set them

$name = $_POST['name'];                                //name returned from the form
$email = $_POST['email'];                              //email returned from the form
$comments = $_POST['comments'];                        //comments returned from the form 
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];                         //ip of the form user
$to = "[e-mail]";                              //set to your email address  

$message = "Name: $name \n Email: $email \n Comments: $comments \n ";  

if(mail($to,"Site Contact",$message,"From: $email\n","IP: $ip")) {  

{
print "Success";
}
} else {  

print "Failed";  

}  

//you'll find it alot easier if you label things even though you know what they do
?>

these are the errors i get from your script

Notice: Undefined variable: REMOTE_ADDR in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\phoenix2\mailto.php on line 14

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 C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\phoenix2\mailto.php on line 15
Error.

i have fixed the REMOTE_ADDRESS by defining it first with $ip

and i added the 2 lines of code to define the config for your smtp server and the the email address to be sent from if its needed
