For example, I had the same problem setting up my first wireless

However, I could not receive any email until I change it to
shawmail.vc.shawcable.net, which is the server plus the domain name.
Wow. I would never, ever instruct a user to put in just "shawmail"
in any circumstances. I cannot believe that is the ISPs install
instruction!
They must like support calls..... that is guaranteed to break for
many reasons.
Because their CD set up program sets the Search domain to
vc.shawcable.net. They do that so they only need to setup a single
point with the local sub domain and everything else will work with
this. I suspect they do it so if you have any problem they can just
tell you to run the CD (despite how it may screw up other things).
Yeah, I'd never set someone up that way.
