Okay. I am understanding better now, the problem still exists though. I am
feeding off of my parents ISP... Currently I have my computer hooked up
directly at their house. I live right next door, eventually, we are going to
install a wireless adaptar and I will be feeding off their network from my
place. Until then I am set up at their house. I do not have a fuse or
zoomtown account, my dad probably does, but I don't want to use his email
address... I want to use my own. how do I get my own or can I use one I
already have?? Sorry.. not trying to make this more complicated than it has
to be, but I personally don't have an account with either one. If I use my
dads will my emails be sent there?? I am confused.. or is the account just
for set up purposes??

Thanks, Christy
