Slice a nipple Hump Day

[MeatPounder]

A trick I always found with bellsouth/att is to change the smtp port from 25 to 587 and I never had a problem sending emails through any of my other accounts (comcast, turtletalk, meatpounder, woofmail from my dog, etc)...and as I always use my own routers I always set telephone modems (both my old dsl and my new u-verse) into bridge mode

Spent all day yesterday working the kinks out of my new AT&T DSL service. The service works great and I'm getting faster speeds then what I was suppose to get (1.8 megs upload) but their complete lack of documentation blows.

To setup authenticated smtp severs so that I could actually send email from anything except the never to be used username@att.net that is forced on you involved much Googling since their tech support is pretty much useless. Finally found out that to use smtp.att.yahoo.com but in order to use this with your own domain emails you first have to add them to the Yahoo control panel.

Then there was the issue of getting Vonage to play well with their service. I've always plugged the Vonage phone adapter into my router but with AT&T the phone would go dead after a few hours. After much more Googling I discovered that I needed to plug the Vonage phone adapter directly into the ADSL adapter and then log into the Vonage phone adapter to setup the PPoE and routing information and then put my wireless router into Bridge mode so that I didn't end up with double NAT.

Everything is working great now but how the fuck does AT&T expect the average user to figure all of this out?

Ouch Cleo, I hurt just thinking about, but Simon is always good for a laugh
Good luck quiting Stu, I know I tried a few times.

My day started good, but then stuff came up and I had to take my mom all over town, and now I have to go out again. I think I will tell everyone I know that I got a 9 to 5 job and I am not available.

Hope everyone has a good day.

I couldn't send email from my iPhone that way.

you know i also tried several times, but never found a real reason to quit, i am not agreeing with my doc, i still hate the fact i cant breath in a proper way, so doc said you need to quit smoking, or be on meds the rest of your life, well not be able to breath in a normal way and thinking of the facted to be on meds the rest of my life...that worked, i dont wanna use meds and i wanna breath in a normal way....you know....yes i wanna have a sig, i never used, i do know i could do without a cigarette for 5 hours if thats the deal, so i should be able to quit, but i think the raeson you may not smoke will do it, if someone say you may not smoke, give you the urge to smoke, same if you hae no cigarettes in the house, the urge to smoke will get huge, i am jumpy but i refuse to take meds for the rest of my life, if i manage to never smoke again....i dont know, what i do know is, i dont wanna be on meds for the rest of my life if its not needed.
