This is REALLY off-topic and I hope that it is OK to post here.

I'm having real problems sending and receiving emails and 'surfing the
net'.

The problem is on two different computers, using two different internal
modems, whether I am using Netscape or Outlook Express.  I'm using NT4
on both SP5 on one and SP6 on the other.

I can dial in OK and get connected at a reported line speed.  But most
of the time (not always) when I then go to send Email I get a message
saying "couldn't find server smtp.xtra.co.nz"  When I go to pick up
email I get "Couldn't find server pop3.xtra.co.nz".

I have had the problem for several weeks but this morning it got so bad
that I had tried at least 15 connections to Xtra and still couldn't send
an email.

By the way, since I am using NT, Xtra don't want to know.  Their
Helpdesk suggested that I upgrade to 98!

Any suggestions of where to start would be GREATLY appreciated. (Let's
hope I can read them!!)

Mark
