Hi Judy:

I'll tell you what works for me using comcast when I'm on the road.  In
your e-mail setup for Road Runner, after the place where you enter in
the SMTP server, there's a box that says "my server requires
authentication?" You probably have it set to "no."  Set it to yes.  This
should not affect you using your e-mail at home, and it will likely help
you on the road.

Thanks,

Hi,

I have road runner as my isp. I can send and receive mail fine at home
with my wireless router. I bought the machine for travel.

When I go to hotels and coffee houses, I can bring down my mail, but I
can't send. I get a relay denied or a 1022 message. Road runner says I
need to change my smtp address to that of the hotel or coffee house.
Most of the time they don't know it and when I have changed it, it
didn't work.

Some people have suggested that I use my cell phone as a modem. I have a
nokia 6620 with Talks. I can browse the net on the web from anywhere,
but the problem is with EMail. I know others have had that problem.

Some isp's want you to download specialized software to use dial up or
the web. I have found mail2web to be easy to read from, but difficult to
compose messages from.

Two people I have talked to have become so frustrated that they have
bought pda phone combos and gone with code factory software.
Does anyone have suggestions for eMail on the road?

Judy
