Re: [PLUG] Email setup w/cable modem
|
Hmmmm, the popserver disconnected me within 3 seconds, but the SMTP server
let me telnet into it and it didnt seem to mind. What email program are
you using? Are you trying to use netscape's email? If you are check the
mail server addresses again, and make sure there is no spaces before or
after the address. If it still doesnt work, try opening a terminal window
and typethe following:
ping mail.enter.net
and then:
ping smtp.enter.net
You should get something like this:
bahamut 403

linux % ping mail.enter.net

:I am running OpenLinux 2.3 and VERY new to Linux. I have Netscape Communicator 4.61 and I am able to surf the web. I checked with my ISP to make sure my settings are correct and they stated that although they dont support Linux it seems that my settings are correct. I am unable to get my mail or check newsgroups I get a error that says "unable to locate server". Any suggestions?
