Looks like you are having trouble resolving Internet addresses.
I assume you are online when you try get this message?  

Can you browse the Internet?
If not take a look at the contents of the /etc/resolv.conf file and let us 
know what you see in there.

You could also try using 62.253.162.50 in place of pop.ntlworld.com
and 62.253.162.40 in place of smtp.ntlworld.com.


As for the error message about smbd and nmbd, that is nothing to worry about. 
It simply means you have the Samba server running to allow networking between 
Linux and Windows, and there are currently no windows computers found when 
you close down.  If you do not intend to use Samba networking, then you can 
disable it in Mandrake ControlCentre>System>Services.  Just untick the start 
on boot box.

Welcome to the world of Linux
