Chris,
I've been having a lot of wireless problems lately which sounds
much like Tannis is having. I am aware of the interference problem
which is mainly in my office. Range for the wireless signal has been
a problem from the beginning and I have to watch the signal for Airport
on my laptop before sending a CE to make sure the signal is strong
enough, otherwise I have to go into my office to send where the signal is
stronger (if at all!).
But last night it was ridiculous. The signal was great and I was
sending
a CE with a Word attachment (using Mac laptop 10.4.11) to four people
in the UK - and it just wouldn't go through. I usually manage better in
the
morning so I tried this morning, but no luck. I finally had to remove the
Word Attachment and send it separately. Still CE wouldn't send. I
finally
copied to a new Email and re-entered the addresses and finally! it sent.
Any idea what this is all about - is the problem CE, the server, or
the Airport wireless card?
