Just setup my LinkSys router and now cant check @home mail

[Redwingsguy]

Is there something special I have to do or is @home just down for the moment?

You need to place your "domain" in the Linksys main setup page. (i.e. mine is lxintn1.ky.home.com, not sure what yours is? Anyone remember how to find out?). That will append the correct domain to the @home servers for "mail", "news" and the "www/" that takes you to their home page.

Check the back of the manual for details but basicly you needed to ping the mail server ie ping mail & record the ip address and then use ping -a [ip address from the 1st step]to get the name of the mail server to put in your e-mail client. This needs to be done before hooking up the router or you need to hook back up directly to your cable conetion.

You can also get your ip address from "status" page of the Router and do a tracert "IP" and that will give you your ID with the Domain appended to it: XXXXXXX.lxintn1.ky.home.com (example)...
