winxp and @home email help please

[Ladies Man]

ok i just upgraded my computer to winxp
now the other computers in the network can no longer access @home email

the server name is
mail
mail

as most of you know... well in winxp
Internet Connection Sharing requires a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to connect to your e-mail or newsgroup server. When not using Internet Connection Sharing, you might be able to use only the first part of the name of your e-mail or newsgroup server.

i don't think it likes just "mail"

any tips???

Does @home mail, and web access work on yer server, the one u upgraded to winXP?

 

[Ladies Man]

yes it does

 

[Ladies Man]

i can access the internet fine from both the other computers
just not email

You need to define your mail route in outlook
such as mail.*****.**.home.com
Just mail may not work anymore

 

[Zorro]

If you need more help you can pm me

 

[Ladies Man]

[SpongeBob]

He's correct. If you don't know your domain (subdomain), PM me with your user name before 9:30pst and I'll let you know what your domain is.

No, I won't hack your account, I work for @Home

FFMCobalt:

Since you work at @Home, could you answer these question ?

1. I'm using one way cable modem (telco, cheap bastards haven't upgrade my are yet), when I'm uploading (morpheus or other) my download stalled really bad. Is there a way to fix this ?
2. @Home techie said that the Motorola SB3100D modem will only work with my LNE100TX NIC (they capture unique hardware serial ?).
Is there a way to have another computer use/share this connection ? If I got a router/hub, will it work ?

Thanks.

i just called @home about an email problem i had...some reason they deleted my account. morons. anyway.

they said *you know when ur on hold they say stuff instead of play music* that there many problems with xp and email. they said their "advanced" technical staff *lol* can help you.

so try and give them a call


oh and for the server mail
it is the name for all @home *i think*

but 99.9% of time entering the server ip gets it to work...








edit: yes it is just mail or the ip of the server

Actually, I don't know jack about Telco Return modems because my department doesn't handle those anymore. Apparently there's a special department for handling that. All I know is that the Telco Return connections suck. Can you get a standard connection??




<< 2. @Home techie said that the Motorola SB3100D modem will only work with my LNE100TX NIC (they capture unique hardware serial ?). >>

Again, I got no clue as to what special hardware you need for that, sorry.




<< 3. Is there a way to have another computer use/share this connection ? If I got a router/hub, will it work ? >>

There is. Go here and look around in member's services. You can set up more computers by paying a small fee for another computer name and IP. Not sure how that's gonna work with Telco Return system, though.
