No. in fact, I can't ping or telnet either. Same with smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.net. Oddly, a couple of days ago I telnetted into the smtp addy to confirm authentication mode.

Also, etta, the Winbox, from which I'm trying to emigrate, is able to access both pop and smtp. But, now (I just checked) I can't telnet from this box either. Can you suggest where to find a clue? Resolv.conf?
