Re: dsl and email

Are you both using the same email address? if yes, then copy EXACTLY what
is in the win2k. Pay attention to the pop3 stuff. you never mentioned if
you can send email. If you have established a new email address for you on
the same account, you must log into your isp and create an email account for
you under the master account typically. (assuming they allow multiple
emails)
