Are you confusing me with Mart, Mike or Noel??? (VBG). Sorry but I
know just enough about computers to get myself into trouble.

Nope....how could I confuse a "dapper dan" with a "furball" (Noel)???
((G)

And it WAS you that recommended the proggie.....I am going to try it
this week. I downloaded it a long time ago, but never opened it. At
that time I had WinME hooked up to it as well.

Cheers from Brampton.....Heather

If I recall, I downloaded and use Network Magic and it organized the
settings with the router for our 2 computers.

Hope things work out for you.

regards

OK, seeing as you are that close to me, do you want to come over and
set up my blasted router?? It has sat here for a year not hooked up.
Someone did give a name of a program that will help me do it and I
did download it. So, I guess I will give it a shot once again.

Gave my computer a good going over today for the Conficker/April 1st
alleged onslaught. Wanna bet it's another Y2K?? OTOH, I used to
watch just how fast real viruses moved across the world from the
antivirus news groups......it was quite fascinating. That is when I
met up with that "feisty redhead MVP", lol. Her office got hit in
Oz.

I'm not understanding. To recap.....My internet service (and email)
is with a cable company (Cogeco) in Ontario, Canada. I travel to
Hilton Head and connect to the internet with a rental condo's
wireless connection. I can receive my email via my Ontario cable
company directly with Outlook even though I am connecting with
Hargray but I cannot send email directly because Hargray's SMTP port
is different from Cogeco's. Am I right so far?

So is it being suggested that the next time I visit someplace that
won't allow me to send email that I should try Verizon's SMTP port?
Or if that won't work, am I supposed to call the local cable company
and ask what port is used for sending even though my relationship is
with a cable company back home?

Sorry to be a bit thick on this but I would be grateful for a bit
more clarification.

Thanks

Dan

Hilton Head is serviced by a local company called Hargray
Communications.
They screw everything up including cable TV. Your brief hookup with
Verizon
showed Hargray was blocking you.

This is not an OS issue but given my experience with ME's
regulars, I
thought this would be an appropriate place to obtain a resolution.

I have just returned from a 2 week vacation in Hilton Head. I
travelled with
our laptop and had no trouble accessing the web or using Outlook
while en
route. However once there, I could no longer send mail in Outlook,
although
I could receive. The only other issue I had was that for some
reason I could
not access a particular website (www.skygolf.com) in order to
download
specific golf courses to my skycaddie GPS system. I initially
thought that
the website was offline but after calling the support staff, it
was
suggested that the problem was firewall related. It was not my
firewall
software because I configured it to allow skygolf, so I am
assuming it was
the router firewall.

The villa/condo we rented had broadband wireless internet. On one
occasion I
was able to switch to another weaker wireless signal (offsite)
that allowed
access to skygolf and also to send mail via Outlook but I could
not find
that access again, which further reinforced the notion that the
problem was
related to the hardware firewall. Thus the question is what are my
options
if I should experience a similar problem in future travels? Is
there a
workaround?

Thanks in advance.

Dan
