| | Re: Trouble Sending Mail In Windows Mail, go to Tools, Accounts, select the account, Properties, Connection tab, and make sure the settings there are grayed out, indicating that IE's settings will be used. When you open Internet Explorer, does it try to dial? If so, go to either Internet Explorer/Tools/Internet Options or Control Panel/Internet Options. Click on the Connections tab. Make sure "Never dial a connection" is ticked. In fact, all the dial-up settings should be grayed out, indicating that Vista recognizes the presence of an Internet connection via the LAN.

| | Re: Trouble Sending Mail My suggestion was written for vncee's specific problem. Since I have not seen a detailed problem statement from you, I can't very well give you a custom solution.
