Re: Can't send e-mail when traveling...

Nothing is missing, what you're seeing is the expected, normal result of trying to use the SMTP server owned by a different ISP than the one you're DIRECTLY connected to. AT home, you're directly connected to Charter and everything works. At a hotel, you're connected to someone else and both that someone else AND Charter will not allow you to use Charter's SMTP server:

Port 25 Blocking

Your options are:

1. Use the SMTP server owned by whichever ISP you're connected to at the time.
2. Use Charter's webmail service when away from home.
3. Contact Charter to see if they maintain a different SMTP port than 25 for subscribers who must use hotels and WiFi hotspots frequently.
4. If you're on the road a lot, consider getting a GMail or Hotmail account for these occasions as these email services work from all ISPs.

Help! I must have some box checked somewhere that's causing this to happen
but I can't find what or where! I send and receive e-mails from my Outlook
application from my home network with ease. But if I travel - to Texas, to
North Carolina, to Illinois, to anywhere - and I am using someone else's
network (a hotel's, a restaurant's or even at my sister-in-law's home), I can
never send e-mails out of Outlook. I receive e-mails just fine in Outlook,
but I can't send them. My ISP at home is Charter. Of course I use whatever
ISP the hotels and restaurants and my sister-in-law may use when I'm
traveling. If I log on directly to my individual e-mail accounts on the
Charter Web site and I can send e-mails from there no matter who's ISP I'm
working on...but I can't send e-mail from Outlook. What do you think I'm
missing? I use Windows XP Pro SP3 as my OS and Office Outlook 2003 - big
Outlook, not Outlook Express - (11.8217.8221) SP3. I'm really frustrated by
this and want to send e-mails from Outlook (where I pull my several e-mail
addresses into in the first place)! Help please!
