I'm using a Belkin Pre-N hub & card in my laptop. Wired to desktop.

Recently I stopped being able to send email through the main email server I
use. I can still receive email through it. I can not send it from home using
the Belkin router from either the laptop nor the desktop. None of the
settings were changed, it just quit being able to send.

Now if I take my laptop to work where somebody else has a wireless network
that is wide open, I can hook up to that with my Belkin Pre-N card and send
or receive email through the same email server, and with the same settings.
Just can't send from home.

Any ideas as to why? I can't figure it out.

Depends who you use for an ISP.. the from in your headers doesn't say (From:

Some ISP's require smtp authentication (log on to mail server) to be able to
send email thru them. See if you ISP has changed to requiring authentication
to send email now.

The email server for my ISP still works fine for me. It's SBC (I think they
use Yahoo).

The email server that I can't send through is run by my website hoster.
He says I don't need authentication, and didn't change anything. Also, I
tried changing this setting back and forth, and there was no success there
in solving this.

My web hoster says there have been a few other customers of his that
mysteriously suddenly could not send email through his server. He never
figured out why.

Nevertheless, on my laptop, without changing any settings, I can send
through his email server from somebody else's wireless router, but not
through mine.

Did you try adding the domain? When I try and send email from my PDA I to
have just the (name), but now have to put in the whole name (like)
(name)@domain.com

It was in outlook express.. It asks for the name in it, but whenever I
access it any way other than a direct connect (WiFi, cell, sat, etc) but it
really wanted the (name)@domain.. It's free to try, and Worth a shot...

Sorry, this dang wireless keyboard drops things... like commas and
letters/words... (or it could just be me looking at the keys as I type
rather than the screen)..Actually my friend said to blame it on my getting
older/it's raining/my arthritis is worse... Yeah that's it... It's my
fingers that are defective... not my mind! :)
