Hi, I would appreciate any help and advice. I am new to linux and have recently installed SuSE Professional 8.2 on a new PC. The install went well and all hardware seems to have been recognised but I seem to have a problem connecting to the internet.
The PC is standalone connecting via a dial up modem which was correctly identified by SuSE as Intel 536EP Data Fax Modem and on install I accepted the defaults which all looked reasonable (which simply means within my limited knowledge). The problem appears to be when I attempt to configure mail in YAST2. It asks for the outgoing mail server (I entered my ISP's smtp server name) and then the incoming server name at which point I attempted to enter the pop3 server name of my ISP. My ISP happens to have the same server name for both but this does not appear to be acceptable and gives an error.
Did you install the package "Intel-536ep"? ciao Arvin -- Dipl.-Phys. Arvin Schnell Research & Development email: arvin@suse.de
