I recently installed XP on my computer and, after lengthy hold times to
AT&T
in India, was finally able to get my DSL up and running. I had been on
AT&T
dialup for years. When I try to send or receive in OE now, I get a box
asking
my ID and password to connect via dialup, which it won't do, or error
messages saying my POP3 can't be found. Now that I'm on DSL, what do I
have
to do to get OE to function?
