E-mail problems with @Home service and router, YES i read the other posts. Please help

[Avalanche007]

I did a nslookup and it gave me the following info:

proxy1.elcjn1.sdca.home.com
IP is 198.168.0.1

What do I need to modify in the pop and smtp server settings? I have tried many variations of this. Added the or 198.168.0.1 any many other things and still it doesnt work. BTW it is COX@home not ATT, if this makes any differene. THanks in advance

The existance of a proxy, router, or firewall should not change the mail and news settings from your provider.

Just aim your system at their servers and things oughta be jus' fine.

Good Luck

I aimed it right at the server, and it stalls for a while and then it still says cant find server.

Try this server for your mail:

netmail.home.com

that should work. If not, try to ping it, and that'll give you the IP to use... netmail.home.com has always worked for me behind firewalls though

Thanks a lot everyone. I got it to work. Two problems I had. One, logon using secure password authentication was selected for some reason??? and two my mail client server looks like this:
mail.elcjn1.sdca.home.com

Thank you all for your help
