MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / September 2006Sending mail from another location
I cannot seem to send mail from a friends house using his wireless connection. Outlook 2003 returns an error message saying the mail cannot be delivered. Do I need to change a setting in order to use another wireless account? I look forward to your help. Bob. > I cannot seem to send mail from a friends house using his wireless > connection.

SignatureBrian Tillman Thanks, is there a way to set Outlook to find and use what is available? Where do I change the SMTP server number at? Location in Outlook? When I am at motels with wireless connections I can send mails and it works just fine. I wonder why. >> I cannot seem to send mail from a friends house using his wireless >> connection.

SignatureBrian Tillman Thanks, that all makes sense. Do you think there is a setting in the wireless modem properties that would allow this? If it helps it's a DSL modem from qwest, the 2 wire model. >> Thanks, is there a way to set Outlook to find and use what is >> available?

I'm assuming that your friend has given you the access key for the 2-Wire router so that you can connect to the Internet. SignatureBrian Tillman Thanks for the reply. I am connected to the internet with his wireless (I'm paying for it) ((son?)) and can browse to my hearts content. <g> It's just the mail thing I don't understand. I can cc my mail account (through another ISP) and I receive it just fine but others on my list bounce back. >> Do you think there is a setting in the wireless modem properties that >> would allow this?
