Email problems with a WiFi network using a BT 2wire 2700HG

I have setup 5 PCs on an office wireless network via a BT 2wire 2700HG gateway router (downgrade from a Win Server 2003 server/network) and Emailing send and receive do not work (using Outlook Express) but I know that the email setup is OK because I have the same setup on my laptop and I can send and receive when I am out of the office using a different wireless network AOL)? The Email uses a third party to collect the incoming emails POP3 (name.co.uk) but the sending is still smtp.btconnect.com. Could the problem be the Firewall on the 2wire 2700 or is there some other explanation? Any help would be appreciated! Regards Gerryw01

The solution guided me to get within a wisker of having trouble free emailing.

All I had to do after following Sandrews guidance was to set the email address to name.domain.co.uk and leave the reply address blank and Hey Presto worked like a dream!

Thanks Sandrew

Because you have a third party email account you will have to go into the email accounts and in options look for my outgoing server requires authentication and tick the box. You may also need autorization from bt as they may not allow the incoming emails. also check that any antivirus programmes arent stopping the outgoing mail and putting them in the outbox.

I am using a 2wire wireless router with modem and am trying to hook up 2 pcs to the local area ports. I can't get a connection on the local networks but can on the wireless. I've tried a few different...

start by pinging the gateway. if you get a reply then the connection is good.

next try a nslookup at the command line.

the syntax is nslookup google.com
you should get back an answer like:
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: google.com
Addresses: 74.125.67.100, 74.125.127.100, 74.125.45.100

If not it then it is a DNS problem not a connection problem. Make sure you have the DNS servers setup in your network configuration.

Wireless Internet stopped working. Can't reconnect.

If restarting the router and restarting computer did not work (unplug both power cables), then you need to log into the router and check network settings.

To log into router type the router IP on internet explore bar, then enter user id and password.
You find details on how to do this, IP and passwords listed on the owner manual.

If wireless security settings on router are fine, then you can reset router to factory default using the pinhole switch. You will need to enter all your broadband settings to have the router working afterward.

Home Network sharing issues using 2wire wireless modem

Did you manually assign the IP address to your shared devices? If so, the Linksys and the 2wire have different IP schemes.

2wire Gateway IP address:
192.168.1.254
255.255.255.0

Do an ipconfig /all on your computer and compare it to the ip scheme on your devices.
