Parrotfish whispered softly in my ear...:
I got OE and Newsgroups w*rking well, emails were coming in fine,
that is until I decided to check the properties, and noticed what
looked like an IP address in the 'incoming mail box' that *should*
have had 'mail.btinternet.com'.

Not pmj ( no Sandra I am really not pmj)

On the server tab? In the incoming (pop3) box where you usually have
the server name?

Yes
Did you make a note of what the IP address looking numbers were?

No....... see below ¬
v

Being stoopid...(no, don't disagree ! lol) I changed it.
And that, folks, is why I've had no emails to the Laptop since 22nd
February 2006 !
So, the question is...... would the IP address have been the IP
address of the Desktop ?

I assume you have a router.
No, I'm connected to the internet through a 'Network Lead between the
desktop and Laptop.

aaah, sorry, I should not have assumed LOL. That kind of connection is way
outside my experience, so treat what I said as a load of probable twaddle.

Shove up a bit and we can sit for a while and wait for a real techy to
help :-)
On second thoughts, I am falling asleep so will come back and sit or read
tomorrow.
Nightbless
