Hello,

I set just started using DSL on my windows 2000 server. I don't know how to configure OutLook to
send EMail. It trys to use Dialup connections, how
do I configure Outlooks so that it knows how to use DSL?

Thanks
Michael

Make sure the email address (most likely your username with your ISP) is the default account in Outlook. Outlook just checks to see if you are online, and then uses the outgoing email server to send mail, which it gets from the primary account. Example, at home, Outlook checks 4 accounts for me at the same time, but I have my Bellsouth account set as the default since that is my DSL ISP, and I have to have it's outgoin mail server to send anything via DSL (my default account). Also, check with your ISP about any additional settings they require in Outlook, like different secure logins or such.

Hope this helps.
