No, I mean the IP address of your laptop. In my office, my laptop gets assigned an IP address in the range 192.168.0.0-192.168.0.255 For one of my ISPs it gets 203.34.171.0-203.34.171.255 or 203.222.89.0-203.34.89.255 For another of my ISPs it gets 203.133.246.0-203.133.246.255 or 203.122.248.0-203.122.248.255 At home it gets assigned 192.168.6.2 Each of these 4 requires a different SMTP server. I have set up XRay to autoselect the appropriate SMTP server based on which of the above subnets my laptop's IP address belongs to. -- Robin Anson Using The Bat! v2.04.7 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.10.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
