How would I check this? I don't think there is a problem w/ my ISP's
server because I set up a separate outlook account on my downstairs
computer and sent mail just fine! Do you think there is something
wrong w/ my networking? I have the Linksys router and modem hooked up
on my computer and the network card in the computer downstairs. I do
believe this started after I made my computer the hub and the
downstairs computer wireless.


I don't know what you meanm by "made your computer the hub" - but if you're
connecting to the Internet through your Linksys and can browse/surf, it's
unlikely. So, it's more likely a configuration probem in Outlook. Did you
try the 'test settings' option? Did you try creating a new mail account?


NB: It's best that you don't snip out all the quoted text when you
reply....it makes it very hard for others to follow the thread. You might
want to consider using a newsreader like Outlook Express or Forte Agent
rather than Google Groups (or the Microsoft web interface) for this and many
other reasons. It's a lot easier to do nearly everything that way, including
searching, which is always a good idea to do before you post, as well as
mark messages to be watched, and filter based on replies to your posts. The
Microsoft public news server is news.microsoft.com and you can subscribe to
as many groups as you like.
