Outlook - Settings change ...

[Brangwen]

Fellow Members:

I use Outlook Express. The settings are simply set with:

pop3: incoming.verizon.net
smtp: outgoing.verizon.net

I'm using a Linksys 4-port router, as I share my DSL with another box. Each box has its own email account.

My Outlook Express works fine, no problems unless I reboot or turn off then restart my computer. Then the above settings change to (DNS?) numbers and I must go into Tools/Accounts, delete the account, reload the original data and it works fine again! Until and unless I shut off my computer. This is very aggravating ...

The second computer has never had this problem. The problem on my computer occurs every few months then resolves ... why I don't know. I cannot replicate the problem when my email is working great, not that I've tried! Has anyone dealth with this before?

Thx.

Are the DNS numbers typed in or are they being automatically assigned?

Can't say I'd spend to much time on it if only happens every now and then.

Automatically assigned ...

This morning I received mail no problem, but I will not be able to send it "out" until I go through my routine of deleting my account and then re-inserting the values. Hmm ...

Any ideas?

Thx.
