>network error -3208
 Anyone knows what this error is?

Anyway, what I'd do would be to download IPNetMonitor and Interachy 5 or 
6 from somewhere else, like on the workplace, and then back home first 
check the TCP/IP panel when dialed up and see if I got a proper IP 
address there. I'd then, in either case, ping with IPNM (first on the 
tools menu), the IP adresses of the primary and secondary DNS servers. 
I'd also try and talk to these with IPNMs NS Lookup to check out whatever 
domain. This in order to see whether I get answers from the DNS servers 
at all.
If you don't know what Ping and NS lookup means press the "?" button and 
read an excellent intro to the concept of each protocol.

If I do have a proper IP,  I'd move on to ping the mail server addresses 
and if I got answer there I'd use Interarchys stream watcher (you'll have 
to install and restart I think) to see what the mailserver say to 
Emailer, when connecting.  

If I can't talk to the mailserver or if I don't have a proper IPnumber in 
there, I'd probably use Address scan in IPNM to check my network 
neighbour hood from say xxx.xxx.xx.0 to xxx.xxx.xx.255. This way I know 
if I'm getting *any* response from the net at all, which is probably 
useful to tell the ISP, if problems pursue.

Then again, the problems may be quite different. I've been on ADSL for a 
long time so I may be insensitive to dialup problems, though I had some 
with my powerbook just recently.
