While I was in Windows NT4, I contacted @Home and changed by password.
I then reinstalled Linux Mandrake again.
In Linux, I logged in as user. In Netscape I modified the following:
A) Select Edit->Preferences -Identity. In the Email address field:
Changed [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
B) Clicked on the Mail Servers. Under Incoming Mail Servers, I selected
mail.
C) Clicked on mail and the Edit button. I changed mail server to mail
D) In the User Name field, I changed User_name to bysh
E) Next to Outgoing mail (SMPT) server, I typed in: mail
F) Next to Outgoing mail server name, I changed User_name to bysh
G) Clicked on Composer->Publish. Next to Publish to the FTP or HTTP
field, I typed in:
ftp:/Username@/members.home/net/User_name/
H) Next to the Browse to HTTP, typed in:
http://members.home.net/User_name/
That corrected it. Now I can log in with my new password. However the
fonts appear quite small. Any ideas.
Whew...
Thanks Randall. Your detailed explanation cured the log on problem.
