>I am having strange periodic problems sending mail. When I connect
to my ISP I can send mail through 66.59.162.165 but not through
>66.59.162.166. This is listed as the router number in the Network
system preferences. I am using a modem and therefore not going
through a router.

In this context router = gateway. That's your next hop in the network; the place to where your Mac sends all packets. It was assigned to you during the PPP initialization sequence when you first connected.

"send mail through" makes no sense. Those IPs are not mail servers.

What I meant to say was when I am connected to 66.59.162.165 everything works but when I am connected to 66.59.162.166 everything works except for sending email.


Need more details - exactly what error are you getting?

Currently I get the error "I said: USER mchapman And then the POP server said: -ERR Unable to connect to external server."


What mail
server are you trying to talk to?

mail.porchlight.ca

Thanks, Mark

>My ISP claims not to recognize those numbers. Can anybody tell me
what they refer to?
