hey Yvonne... is your modem integrated into the back of the laptop or is it
a card that you slide into a slot on the side of the machine? can you get
to a website when you are connected to your bellsouth service and not
NetZero? are you on DSL or dial-up? can you get to bellsouth's webmail
site to view and or send mail? the url is http://webmail.bellsouth.net. if
the problem is only with your mail, check the settings you have for your
account in your email client, which I believe you said was OE 5.5, both
SMTP and POP3 servers should read *mail.bellsouth.net* [without the *s].
I also am on bellsouth and have been for years... with little complaint...
however, this morning, their service was EXTREMELY slow... I could not hit
any web pages just before I left for work. that would have been around 3
hours before you posted your plea for help... but I was still receiving
mail, altho I didn't try sending any.
