E-mail on wireless web
When I am using wireless web with good signal strength, I am unable to send or receive e-mail. It keeps telling me I am off line and do I want to connect. I am sorta new to wireless. Do I have to have a phone line connected to my side jack for my modem or ? I have a INSPIRON 8200, with an internal wireless card, not sure of make of modem.
Thanks for any or all help,

John,
I have a Netgear 802.11b 4 port wireless router connected to a broadband modem from Cincinnati Bell. It appears to be working correctly, based on I can send and receive mail on my desktop as well as acess the web. The desktop is connected by cable to the router as well as 2 other desktops.
Thanks,

Crunch1,
The problem is that you're probably using Zoomtown and Fuse.net.
Can you access the internet from your I8200 using a wireless connection? Open a DOS window (Command Prompt) and type ipconfig and press Enter. If you post the results it may give us a better idea what the problem is.

The problem turned out to be self imposed, like shooting one's self in the foot. I had disabled the internal modem earlier, so I could use my cell to acess the web. Everything is now working fine and thanks for all the help and the time put into it. must have been one of those senior moments.

Crunch1,
Are you using the I8200's internal modem for a dial-up connection to the internet and to get email? You should be able to access the internet and get email through your internal wireless card through the wireless router and broadband modem.

I use my cell phone to log onto the web when I am out in my RV. I have to use sprint pcs for data transfer. When at home or in an area where it is avaiable I use wireless. I hope I am answering what you need to know. The sprint hookup on my phone is only about a 14.4 hook up, but for only $5 a month I can live with it. If you guys know of a faster way, let me know.
