then I bet it's my 3rd response. You said you normally use roadrunner which
puts you on your isp's network and no need to authenticate. But your laptop
is on another isp's system with the wireless so you will normally need a
different outgoing email server. Check with your roadrunner's isp, tell them
your sending from another network and get the server address for smtp
authentication. ie smtpauth.yourispname.com. It's probably on their website
too. Once you change that you will still need to leave 'my server requires
authentication' checked too.
