Limping in past 170 posts to seek the technohivemind wisdom regarding wrangling email accounts.
I have 4, each registerd/hosted by a different company.
Recently, I transfered one address from earthlink to godaddy and the entire daisy chain seems to have gone boom. Now, I'm not getting my business email at all.
Is there a service, utility or option in Outlook to get all the accounts pointed in the same direction so that I get them all in one place?
For reference, I have verizon dsl.
What can I do? whimper
Oh, man.
I think I broke the hive.
::poking with a stick. poke. poke.
Yup. I think it's busted.
bad beej. NO biscuit.
It's kind of a complicated question, beej. Are all these POP accounts or are some web-only? If they're POP mail, just go into Outlook | Tools | Accounts, click on "Add" and follow the instructions. If they're domains under your control, you can usually forward the mail to one e-mail address, but each hosting company will have different instructions. Just look for "e-mail forwarding."
I know that's clear as mud.
So, does Windows XP (SP2) come with a tool that will allow me to unpartition my old 10GB drive back into a single drive?
Or should I unplug my primary drive and just use my XP install disk to format the whole drive?
Under control panels there's something along the lines of administrator tools and in there you dig down to Disk Management and then you'll be able to reformat the drive and do whatever you need.
Damn it feels good to scrub this puppy clean.
Clean puppies are much fun.
Ok, I've got a stumper.
Background: I'm going home in a few days, and, as my parents live out in the boonies, the Internet comes via satellite, which uses a modem which interfaces with the computer through USB.
Question: Any ideas on a router or set-up that will allow more than one computer on the Internet at the same time? Everything I'm finding on the web is only kinda making sense, and I'm not sure it's talking to me, anyway.
Debet, are you looking to hook the computers up wirelessly? It sounds like plugging a WiFi router into the satellite modem and a USB WiFi adapter into your parent's computer should work. Then you can use other Wifi adapters to hook other computers up.
You'll need to tweak a bunch of settings though.
