My knowledge on DNS etc. is very sketchy so apologies in advance.....

I have a PC which has ADSL and another - let's suppose it is called MAINBOX - which obtains an IP address automatically for an Internet connection.

MAINBOX uses Outlook Express to grab E-Mail and has Norton Anti-Virus running.

I am writing a bit of code to send E-Mails on MAINBOX. The code works fine ( you see Norton scanning the mail before it attempts to send ) and the mail is placed in \\inetpub\mailroot\queue, but it doesn't appear to do much else. I have tried sending a mail to an account set up through my own OE and nothing is received.

I have tried setting the SendMail.SMTPServer property to the MAINBOX IP address, also to the PC name i.e. MAINBOX. Also, changed the order of access for the connections under network connections>>advanced settings>>adapters and bindings - the first priority is set to remote access connections.

Many thanks,

Glyn.
