If the DNS server is wrong this may explain the problem if you could not resolve the host names for the specific machines. Thanks. Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: Dorothy Ingram-Gorban [mailto:user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tue 28/02/2006 18:42 To: Andrew Hodgson Subject: Re: Martin from RNIB RE: Martin from RNIBThanks Andrew - I've noticed that a lot of the ISPs have started using authentication - I think in an effort to counter spam originators? I've just made one change to the desktop machine as it was set with two explicit DNS addresses, one of which seems to have been wrong. All I've done is to turn on DHCP so it picks up both IP and DNS automatically...

Strange.

The settings were (for the desktop that would'nt connect reliably: Incoming: POP3.FREESERVE.NET Outgoing: SMTP.FREESERVE.NET Server Auth NOT set And for laptop which works: Incoming: POP.FREESERVE.COM Outgoing: SMTP.WANADOO.CO.UK Server Auth set ON I suspect that the significant difference is the server auth, as I suspect that the names are covered by aliases.
