Broadband and dial up ????????

I dont know whether this is a network or software problem but here it goes


I have a dial up connection and a broadband connection. I keep both so I am not out of a connection when I travel. I can pretty much log on to the internet from anywhere there's a phone line.

This is a two part question:

First---on the computer that has the broadband connection the dialup modem does not work. some how the dialup modem has been disabled. is this normal because of the broadband modem or should both be able to operate at the same time? or only one at a time? I do not need the dialup to connect to the internet on the computer already using broadband I just want to use it as caller id and answering machine. but I cannot get it to work.

Second----I have tried to use Microsoft outlook with the two email addresses that I have one email address belonging to the dialup service provider and the other one belonging to the broadband service provider On my computer with the broadband connection. the broadband email address sends and receives but the dialup email address just receives and refuses to send. I have done every thing right. I know the pop and the smtp configurations and yes the passwords are right. when I install them I can receive emails but I cannot send emails under the dialup service email address. now I suspect that the server that I log on to receive my emails somehow is connected to the authentication required to log on with the dialup. My dial up connection uses the pap authentication protocol and my broadband uses a smart card.


If I logon with my dialup on the other computer (the one that has no broadband) then I have no problem sending and receiving messages with both email addresses same settings and same program under microsoft outlook. I figured it might be outlook so I decided to set up outlook express, I downloaded eudora lite, and even that no good program incredimail. it did the same thing. I found out this way that the problem is not the software but somehow the tcp settings or ????????

If you have any idea how to solve this please help me out.

Is it possible that your dial-up ISP will not allow you to send mail via their SMTP server when you are not connected directly to them?

 

Are you getting Relay errors on sending email?


ISPs generally don't let you share SMTP servers

IIRC, Outlook only sends through one default account, which means one SMTP server. Which means, 1 of your 2 ISPs aren't going to allow it.

 

This is what I get

error 0x800ccc0f the connection to the server has been interrupted

then outlook tries to send it again. till I cancel it

On my other question:
Can a dialup modem and a broadband connection work at the same time???

anybody knows please help

 

Hi,

The Dial-Up Networking connection will override the broadband settings when you start it.

Most ISPs will allow you to download your email via POP3 from outside their service but won't allow you to send email via their SMTP servers from outside of their domain.

So, if you login to your broadband ISP's POP3 server via another ISP's dial-up service and download your email you won't be able to reply using the broadband service's SMTP server(s).

You could "fake it" by picking one email account at one ISP to standardize on, and then configuring the other one to receive mail from the first ISP's POP3 server, but send replies via its own STMP server, with the "reply to" address set to the first account.

The computer that uses both the broadband and the dial-up services would need to have 2 email connections configured - one for "at home" and one for "on the road". The "at home one" is easy, it just uses the SMTP and POP3 server from the broadband ISP.

The "on the road" setting uses the POP3 services from the broadband ISP (assuming that the broadband ISP permits outside access to its POP3 servers), but sends email using the SMTP servers at the dial-up ISP, and the "reply to" address address is set to the account at the broadband ISP, so that even when someone replies to any email sent using this connection, the replies go to the main email account.

I can't tell you how to do it using Outlook or Outlook Express, as I haven't used either for a long time, but that's the theory. Any email client that supports seperate settings for sending and receving mail should be able to be configured this way.

And, all that said, the simplest way to be able to send and receive email regardless of which ISP you are using is to use a third-party email service that doesn't care how you're connected to the Internet .

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation. I will look into doing what you suggested. Who knows maybe I will be able to configure this after all

Pardon...if I only answer one part of this....but what they say is
true....the dial up will take precedence over broadband....and
if you are using Outlook....you can only have one ISP for sending
you can collect from the other ISP email in your Outlook....but only SMTP.......This has been my experience....as My mother
~~~$$likes?? her dialup...whereas I have to have my broadband. Unless you can have two Instances of OE on your
puter...to set up individually...

Post if you find a fix in OE that outwizzes this prob.....(Personally
OE is a horrible thing for me to use...but again...my mother..(66)
loves it because it does 2 things.....
(So in a nutshell...I just fooled it)
