Well, Mozilla won't even open now. I do have it set up the same as Kmail
though. Just to make sure it was not a corrupt file or something, I created
a brand new user and set it up. Same error. Kmail worked though.

They are the same as far as email goes. Mozilla worked for a good while until
all this started.

I can not send email to anyone without exceedtech.net on the end. My brother
has a Bell South account and it won't go. I have two Yahoo accounts,
nothing. I have a couple friends on other ISPs, lady friends LOL, and they
are no go either. Is it OK if I try to find someone to put up with me? O_O
It gets lonely with me, three servers and my broke desktop.

Who me?? LOL Most of them are within 300 miles of me. The closest, I can
use two cans and a piece of string. My brother lives next door, country
speaking for about ~700' away.

I sent a ethreal thing to two people. Maybe they went to bed. ;-) It is
long so I don't want to put it on here. This is one line though.
No. Time Source Destination Protocol Info

I put in the <dot> in the address. That's my spaming email address at Yahoo,
well, one of them.

I actually sent a email to the owner. No idea and nobody else is having this
trouble. I don't think they would lie to me. When they have problems with
connections, they usually call and get me to try it. Since Linux keeps
better logs and all. I have helped them a few times. I also got them to set
up a new account, same thing there.
OK. I have messed with this long enough for now. I have to take a nap. If
you all don't have a better plan, I'm starting a fresh install and keeping
the old gcc, the old KDE 3.4 and my trusty old kernel. When I changed those,
the crap hit the fan, pretty soon after.
Don't burn up any gears, just help me fix this. :-{
Thanks
Dale
:-)
Oh, I can't get the nvidia drivers to work on the new install either. It
loads the module but the GUI won't start when I change the xorg file. I'm
not sure what to make of that either. I did recompile the kernel with the
new gcc too. That got me to where I could load the module.
