Hi Bruce,
Your advice worked like a charm for the mail. But, I still have a
problem with the internet. When I hit the browser button my internet window
comes up, but I get a note that says "The specified server could not be
found" and nothing more happens. However, if I click on "Go" and drag down
to one of the listings and click on it that page will come right up and I
can go to work. How do I get the specified server to be found?
Thanks
Wilton
