"Relaying to So an So Prohibited by Adminstrator?"

I just formatted and re-installed XP Pro. All is well save an odd quirk
in my mail settings for Netscape 7.2 - I know this is not a NG for
Netscape - but when I try to send mail from Netscape I get the message -
"Relaying to <email address> is prohibited by administrator, please
verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences and
try again."

I used my laptop to reset all mail settings on the desktop and my laptop
works.

Now, the interesting thing is that I just sent this message to this NG
using the same outgoing smtp server; smtp.mindspring.com and it works.

I can also go to my company server and to comcast.net and send email
through those email clients.

I am puzzled. The only thing that is different from my pre-format is
that my NIC card is not working so I am connecting to my cable modem via
a 10/100 USB LAN connection.

Is it related?
