My ISP always assignes me the same IP address: 203.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx. Is there a problem with having the device ed1 (ethernet card) configured for my internal IP address? I seem to be able to recieve email no problem usinf POP3 but sendmail (SMTP) returns an error (invalid domain name) every time I try to send mail. any ideas? Regards, Simon.
