NetZero, PeoplePC, Juno, and a few others have very bad reputations.
They rank right up there next to spam

Been so long since I've done dial-up that I really don't remember
details (and now I'm on Mac), but isn't this a function of the OS?
You're running Windows, right?? Seems like you'd go to (in XP)
Start > Settings > Network Connections and set a default connection?
Hope this sets you in the right direction and/or encourages someone
smarter to reply.

Cheers!

On Windows, you can set up as many different connections as you want; but if
they use the same physical connection (modem and/or telephone line and/or ...)
you can use at most one of them at a time. One of these connection is normally
defined as "default", and if you want to use another one you have to start it
explicitly. IIRC there is one icon per connection in a window called "My
Network" (or something); and IIRC you can access it from the Start menu and/or
from the Control Center.

In most cases (but this may depend on the ISP to which your modem connection
is made) you can read mail from any number of mail servers using the same
connection. Personally I have mail accounts at @belgacom.net, @skynet.be
(which are actually operated by the same ISP) but also @yahoo.co.uk and I poll
them all without disconnecting my "skynet" ADSL connection. However, Skynet
allows me to make an SMTP connection (for outgoing mail) to relay.skynet.be or
relay.belgacom.net but not to the yahoo.co.uk SMTP servers.


Best regards,
Tony.

Yes - I think I have it hooked up now for NetZero.com (New Account here
in SM 105) but
it keeps wanting to go "OUT" via my old ISP....

How can I make it stop doing that - seems to defer to the old one.

I have the "Default" set to my NetZero phone number, etc.

Bill,

When you set up a dialup account in Windows that first account is set as
the default to dial out. Just because you told Win 98 to use another
account as the default does not mean Windows will obey. Try going to
Control Panel/Internet Options and select the tab Connections. In the
Connections dialog box check the dot for "Never dial a connection".
This one Windows obeys.

Go back to your network connections where you have all your ISP dialup
accounts and copy each account icon to your desktop as a shortcut.

When you want to use NetZero double click that named icon, when you want
to dial out to another ISP close NetZero connection and double click the
other icon.

When you say, "Go back to your network connections where you have all
your ISP dialup
accounts and copy each account icon to your desktop as a shortcut."
where exactly are
you talking about. It is the "Icon" part that has me confused.

NetZero provided an Icon to dial themselves up. That is on the desktop.

Where would my other ISP have an Icon or an "account" as you call it?
Is that in "Programs" in the START Menu?

I clicked "Never Dial a Connection" as you said.

Another thing - my old ISP's "Outgoing STMP Server" name is showing up
in the
new NetZero account and there doesn't appear to be any way to modify that.

I have two choices - That old STMP Server or "Default".

How do I get NetZero's name into that "Outgoing STMP Server" slot?

Thanks! It was under Networking in "My Computer!"

I put the old ISP's Icon on the Desktop....

try looking under Modem in the control panel. Otherwise, double click
on My Computer. Do you see anything there about Modems, or connections,

Edit, Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings, on the left, scroll on down
until you see Outgoing Server (SMTP). Add NetZero's there. Now, go
back to each account you have and make the changes on the right

Click on the account, such as "news.mozilla.org", click on settings for
this account. near the bottom is the smtp setting, change this to the

means is has to be added under the outgoing smtp settings in preferences.
