So...when at work and dialled into my ISP account...I have to set that account as default...when at home on comcast cable...I need to switch the smtp server to reflect the change.

Post #49,922 by orion 8/20/02 12:50:58 PM Reply	I know My DSL ISP account may not work because I am not using my DSL ISP (No DSL service in my Parent's Time-Share); however, the Yahoo SMTP should work just about anywhere because I am paying for it to work that way. Address.com has a POP3/SMTP service but they charge extra for it and my father still uses the web interface. So no SMTP there. My DSL has a dialup account, but they charge extra for it, and may not have a dial-up in Branson, MO? Plus they limit access to 20 or 40 hours a month for it. I could go with a free ISP, download their client, and pay $9.95 a month. I tried Juno and NetZero, but they don't have a free number in Branson, pay-only. Well, Juno had a free number, but I could only use it after 4am. Any other Free ISPs with a free SMTP server I can use? *[link\|http://games.speakeasy.net/data/files/khan.jpg\|"Khan!!!" -Kirk]*

Sorry if it seems a little simplistic...but alot of times its the obvious that gets missed first...making simple things get complicated in a hurry. Next I'd make sure that there is nothing blocking SMTP port assignment of 25. I'm not sure if Norton plays with that aspect of the settings or not...I don't think it does..but its worth a check. You may end up having to reinstall dial-up networking...just trying to avoid that eventuality.

Post #50,060 by orion 8/21/02 4:52:16 PM Reply	I ripped the network drivers out That included the dial-up networking drivers. Ripped them out, rebooted, added them back in, rebooted. No difference. I am thinking about reformatting this laptop as soon as I get back home to my LAN in my basement. I'd install Linux, but the IBM Thinkpad 560X has a NeoMagic chipset that X doesn't seem to support. Also without a CD drive, I'd have to do an FTP install or something from a floppy boot. When I get a job, I will get me a $100USD 10G 2.5" Notebook drive for it, and then install Windows 98, Red Hat Linux 7.3, and anything else I can think of on it. Right now I only have the 2G, yes Beavis, it does suck. Right now, no LAN, no CD, and I am stuck with a Windows 98 that has the SMTP port blocked by whatever is left of the Norton Crapware. *[link\|http://games.speakeasy.net/data/files/khan.jpg\|"Khan!!!" -Kirk]*
