OK your problem is not an email problem, it is a name resolution configuration problem Easiest way to fix it is to edit that /etc/resolv.conf file (It can be done by GUI as well but this is quicker) /etc/resolv.conf is a system file so only root user is allowed to edit it. Easiest way to edit a file as root is KMenu>Applications>FileTools>FileManager(SuperUserMode) give the root password when prompted and then navigate in the GUI to /etc/resolv.conf, right click on the file and select 'Openwith>kedit' A text editor will appear. Edit the file to look like this and save # search localdomain search localdomain nameserver 194.168.4.100 nameserver 194.168.8.100 # ppp temp entry I take it, this computer only has a dial up interface? There is no networking to other computers? BTW: The snazzy way to perform edits in Linux is to highlight text you want to copy, move the mouse to where you want to paste it, and then press the centre button (wheel) to paste it. Much easier than all that Ctl C/V malarky. derek
