2. I've had my prodigy account for so long that to change for the short term would be an inconvienience.

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.Jordan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Edwards" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 11:35 AM Subject: [newbie] Sending email with Cable ConnectionI 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. -- Chris Edwards Send email for alternate contact information email | aim | icq | postal | cell | phone---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
