take a look at: settings | control panel | internet options | connections
is "never dial a connection" selected here? if it is, try one of "Dial whenever ..." or "Always dial ..." and see if it affects the problem. -ns http://www.roserox.co.th ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Galyer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Multiple recipients of list delphi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2001 1:57 PM Subject: [DUG]: TNMSMTP I have a problem using the TNMSMTP component - under Win 95, 98, ME the component will automatically initiate a dialup if not currently connect to the internet; but under Win 2000 it will not initiate a dialup - returns "null remote address", but will use the connection if it already exists. Anyone able to give me some pointers here - I know that Indy is frequently recommended, but that is not the answer I am looking for.
