Hi Eleanor,
Did your brother sign up to Broadband recently?
Were you using dial-up access up to now on his system?
The problem mightn't be the same as that which I met in Spain.
Normally, if you are accessing the internet via someones else provider you
need to set the outgoing settings in your mail properties to the "gateway"
of that provider. For instance:
My incoming email is set to
Gpo.iol.ie
My outgoing mail is set to
Mail.vodafone.ie
This is because I am still using IOL as my email provider, but the ISP or
provider, Vodafone, have their own gateway for outgoing email.
However, not to confuse you with too much info, the following setting in
Spain should have worked:
Smtp.telefonica.net
For the outgoing emails but because I was not the owner of the account it
was blocked. Here at home i am on Vodafone as my provider and yet the
setting:
Mail.vodafone.ie
Works for my wife's account with Eircom.net.
Hope this helps
Aedan.

Subject: [vip_students] Unable to Send E-mails via my Brother's ISP in
Longford
I read Aeden's e-mail with interest but a little closer to home I had a
similar problem in my brother's house in Longford. Up to this I have had no
problem using my Outlook Express to access my e-mails from my Eircom, BT and
G mail accounts. Last week, I was able to receive all e-mails from all
accounts but I could not send out e-mails from Eircom or BT accounts.
puzzled, I tried on my phone using his wireless b roadband. No problem
there. I asked him why it might b e that I could not send my e-mails out
via Outlook Express. He is no Techy but I thought it was worth a mention.
His response was that he was the broadband account holder but I could not go
along with that. Anyone got any ideas as to what my problem might have
been. My settings were identical to when I was there previously in January.
Eleanor
