If it were only an issue while using the Seamonkey mail client, I would think some sort of firewall blocking POP/IMAP/SMTP connections. Rare nowadays, but still possible. However, you say you are unable to connect via webmail. But webmail is a standard Web connection -- if you block that, you block everything. So, it seems the problem is that you cannot connect to your ISP in any way. That really sounds to me like some sort of DNS problem -- for some reason, you are unable to find the correct server from that particular connection. You might try to set up your Wi-Fi card to use a specific public DNS server, like OpenDNS or Google DNS, instead of whatever DNS the wi-fi connection offers you. It's also possible that your ISP is being actively blocked for some reason -- maybe it got into one of those "blackhole" lists -- and a firewall is forbidding connections to it. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
