argh irc is f***ing up for me and i cant get through the maze of bigpond.com, so what is the incoming and outgoing email addresses i use if im on bigpond cable?

pop-server

mail-hub

thanks mate

or if behind a firewall

pop-server.bigpond.net.au

extmail.bigpond.com

does that include the crappy xp in-built firewall

well if the first one doesnt werk ill say yes

eds dont try and confuse me with your logic

eds has logic?

j/k

instead of using fully qualified domains like pop-server.qld.bigpond.net.au

just add qld.bigpond.net.au and bigpond.net.au to your dns suffix search order in Network Properties

but that jus sucks :D
