Sure sounds like a configuration error in the email account, either on the machine or with the ISP, maybe an address error for the default server. Since you can get the web, you're getting outside your system OK. So, if you can't FTP or send mail, then it has to be in your settings or theirs.
The laptop uses built-in wireless, or a Cardbus card, or USB dongle, or?

Last installment for me, I hope. Replaced the D-Link DWL-G810 Ethernet Bridge with another of the Buffalo WBR2-G54 routers and am using both in bridged mode. On these units, bridging does not support WPA. so went back to WEP/128bit.

OK, tried ejecting the card and plugging back in without a reboot. Not working now, and nothing I do is getting it back. Also, the WEP encryption settings in the D-Link Utility SW are not sticking. I'm not sure whose problem this is, but Microsoft really has to bear the brunt. This was all...
andygryc -- tried your solution. Using Buffalo "g" wireless cable/DSL router with:
1) ethernet for primary machine (Mac G4/800/OSX),
2) wireless to D-Link DWL-G810 Ethernet Adaptor connected to Mac G3 beige/300/OS9 (which works great with static IP, period),
3) wireless to D-Link DWL-G650...
