Hello, me and my brother have setup a network with a cross over cable we put in the ip's and sharing the internet connection i have configured internet explorer, firefox, msn messenger, and yahoo messenger but when i goto Microsoft Outlook 2003 it can't access the internet because it says
"Task 'Gmail - Receiving' reported error (0x80040900) : 'The server name you entered can not be found on the network (it might be down temporarily). Please verify that you are online and that the server name is correct.':, but how do i tell outlook to goto the ip 192.168.0.1 and POP3(receiving email)(port 110) and SMTP(sending email)(port 25)? p.s. were using a cross over cable.

Outlook requires a mail server to access not a computers IP. Outlook will automatically use your network and internet connection on the ports it wants to use to make a connection to a server, such as the gmail server.

You need to set the server name for gmail, it seems to be pop.gmail.com for incoming and smtp.gmail.com for sending, if you use the correct name you should get no errors. You will not be able to use an internal address as you have no mail server.
