Hi All, Well, my Earthlink account, after much telephone talking and emailing and tinkering, keeps "disconnection because of lack of response from the other side." Today, it was so bad that using the net was impossible.
So. I set up an account for my University Dial Up connection: NO PROBLEM. Earthlink's latest suggestion is to call my local phone company and ask them about any line noise that may exist between my location and the locations of the only 2 phone #'s that I can call for Earthlink. I think I'll do that later this week. At any rate, this proves: 1. its not a problem with my modem 2. its not a problem with my computer 3. its not a problem with my house phone jacks 4. its not a problem with my telephone wire 5. its not a problem with my internet settings AND I'm still able to receive my email from my earthlink account using my mac email program. BUT, for some reason I cannot SEND email using the mac email program (can't remember exactly but the error message was something like: "cant find ip address of smpt account"). i didn't change any settings with my email so I don't understand why I can get but not send email Ideas? Later, Dale (15" flat panel Imac, OSX 10.1.5, IE 5.1) PS, earthlink web-email still works fine, getting and sending email, so I'm using it now to send this message.
