I've just set up my linksys router, and i have no problem getting onto the internet but I can't access my email. It keeps saying that it cannot find the incoming and outgoing mail servers.

As far as i can tell, i have set up the DNS properly with it accessing the proper IP address provided by my ISP, and I have also enabled DHCP on the router setup as well as my computer. I have two computers running into the router, one with Win XP and one with Win ME. Both of which are unable to access the email through Microsoft outlook.

It has worked in the past, but there was a huge power outage which reset the router.

Does anyone have any insight on this.


Cheers

It has to be in the "pop" and "smtp" settings under the mail tab in the mail properties. I don`t have outlook so that`s as far as i can go .

I'll ditto what 700mb80min has said. Open OE / TOOLS / Accounts / Servers see if they are set something like this:

Incoming: pop3.xyz.com
Outgoing: smtp.xyz.com

and, check the box labeled "My server requires authentication"

Good luck.

The router should have no effect on the email settings. If they worked before, they should still work. What elxe changed?

If we know who your ISP is someone else may be able to tell you their settings
