USA ISP has no unusual settings - POP3, SMTP, etc. Used to be that Xtra would log on to email, check the NZ email, then ask "you have a connection extablished to Xtra - do you want to dial your ecentral ISP, or use this present connection?" I would say "use current connection" and all would be fine. I now have Windows XP Home Edition and cannotremember how to set up this dual ISP connection. I still have the same OE 6.0. I tried asking Xtra but got some low-level trainee who said "it cannot be done" when up until having to change computers it worked just fine. Sure, I can acess email via the web, but it used to be so simple... Any thoughts would be most appreciated.	Neptune417 (8136)

I'll check my Denver ISP and see what they might say . I did email them but got ignored . . . Yes, I can use another monitor to access the hard disc, but have to figure out whether I can do this to a TV screen, need to buy some other cable, etc . Maybe I'll just have to do this, but there were times when some messages seemed to go astray . Puzzling, eh? Yes, I tried just changing the Xtra ISP setting to reflect my incoming email from Denver, but this doesn't work . I suspect teh answer lies in a roaming sort of service from the Denver ISP simlar to that Xtra has . For those interested please see John's link - it is quite good . Thanks to you all .
