Don, Good advice but I know as a novice still, that sometimes it is hard to understand "how" to experiment.
I have just now come to a better understanding of the whole smtp thing through the discussions on this list and a podcast or two. When you are new to the BN, or fairly new (I have had my BN for little more than a year and still know so little about many things), that it is hard to understand what parts to experiment with. Connecting to my home router took me over six months to get right and I honestly have no idea what item it was that I changed that actually made it work. I am just now getting some what confident with wifi in order to use it more frequently. I also thank the person that recommended ideas for printing a document and faxing while on the road. I may have to try this now.
