1. We're both military and we'll both move within a year so this arrangement is not permanent.
2. I've had my prodigy account for so long that to change for the short term would be an inconvienience.
3. I didn't understand the mechanics of smtp servers until seeing Mr. Jennings' post.

I guess the question I have is _why_?  If the account is in your neighbor's
name, you can get him to add a user (I have cable here in Florida and we get
up to 6 users, I think.)  I don't even use the username that was given to me
as it is too hard to remember, so I created one that I can remember and I
retrieve my mail from that one.

Subject: [newbie] Sending email with Cable Connection



I recently arranged to share cable internet with my neighbor across the
hall. Previously I had been using dail-up and KPPP to establish the
connection. Now that I am on his LAN I am always connected, can surf to
my hearts's content and recieve email. However, I cannot SEND email
without dailing up.

Any suggestions on what setting I need to tweak to be able to send email
via my cable connection.

Every time I try to send (via Mozilla) I get an error to the effect that
  it couldn't connect to the smtp server: smtp.prodigy.net.
