Sometimes it can take several attempts to get connected or I may have try later in the day. They tell me its a problem with Win2000 and they are working on update. Thats was several weeks and still no updates.

Charlie,

I completely forgot about PPPoe. My provider was Northpoint (yup, the folks that just went under and sold to AT&T). I had a static IP address so I didn't have to worry about any of the other stuff.

Are you able to test out your MAPI stuff with a dialup just to see if the client is at fault?

Laterness,
Jon
