Hi there

I'm sure this is the same problem I had. I went for the automatic network
detection setup (this is a stand alone machine with a dial up link),
Mandrake 8.1 appeared to have set up my NIC (I know its stand alone, but has
a network card) as the default route to the internet. So I could dial up as
well but get no mail.

I did a reinstall and turned off the  automatic network setup, and just
selected the modem access option and everything was fine. Then set up the
network card seperately.

I hope this helps you as I think I just confused myself again.

Regards

Mark A
