Are you trying to send via the same server from both the DSL and dial-up connection? If so, is the DSL provider the same as the dial-up provider? Who is your DSL provider and who is the dial-up provider? Most ISP's only permit mail to be sent via their server if the connection is originating on their network. Some will permit it from outside if the send use authentication. Also, some ISPs block you from sending mail via any server other than their own. Assuming the DSL provider and the dial-up provider are different, having the send time-out strongly suggests that your connection to the sending server is being blocked. IF so, you need to change your settings so that mail is sent via your dial-up provider's server. -- Larry Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.stonejongleux.com/ -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
