Hi wyoung,

Found this on a Google Search:

The error you are getting is probably caused by not having the proper
domain name server internet address identified in the TCP/IP properties on your computer. A quick call to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) should clear it up.

Another possibility is that the mail server is not properly named in the mail and news options in Netscape. The incomming option is the name of the POP (Post Office Protocol) server. Your ISP should tell you what the name should be. When you have incomming mail, you may not be logged onto the network. So your ISP stores the mail for you on their POP server until you can retreive it. You get it from your mailbox on the POP server. The ISP needs to tell you what to put in Nescape for that name.

Outgoing mail needs to be sent to an STMP server provided by your ISP.
It may not be the same as the name of the POP server. Mine is not the
same. The SMTP server doesn't typically store mail because it can
usually unload it quickly (by sending to a Mail Exchanger or POP server somewhere else.) In any case, your ISP needs to tell you
1. The IP address of the domain name server
2. The internet name of your POP (incoming) server
3. The internet name of your SMTP (outgoing) server.

Most ISPs do this for you with a setup wizard if you are using Win95.
If you're not a Win95 user, then they need to tell you step by step how to set these values.

Are you able to browse without problems, and it is only the Mail that is the problem?
