Sending mail from another location
I cannot seem to send mail from a friends house using his wireless
connection. Outlook 2003 returns an error message saying the mail cannot be delivered. Do I need to change a setting in order to use another wireless account? I look forward to your help. Bob. |

Thanks, is there a way to set Outlook to find and use what is available?
Where do I change the SMTP server number at? Location in Outlook? When I am at motels with wireless connections I can send mails and it works just fine. I wonder why.

Thanks, that all makes sense.
Do you think there is a setting in the wireless modem properties that would allow this? If it helps it's a DSL modem from qwest, the 2 wire model. "Brian Tillman" wrote in message ...

Not within the modem, since it's an Outlook account property. I'm assuming that your friend has given you the access key for the 2-Wire router so that you can connect to the Internet. -- Brian Tillman |

Thanks for the reply.
I am connected to the internet with his wireless (I'm paying for it) ((son?)) and can browse to my hearts content. g It's just the mail thing I don't understand. I can cc my mail account (through another ISP) and I receive it just fine but others on my list bounce back. "Brian Tillman" wrote in message ...
