Ok.... I tried that... still won't let me get an IP of the DHCP server of
@home. How do you get the dhcpcd to load at startup? Did you need to
install the DHCP packages? I can only get my email to work if I plug
in the IP numbers instead of using "mail" as @Home wants you to do.
Everything else works... pretty much...<G> AIM, ICQ, Netscape, etc etc...
But when it comes to the mail server they won't connect with using the
IP number address. Wierd, huh? Thanjks for the info, tho...:)
