I apologize for the email I posted where I forgot who posted. I just came in from a fall I took in the back yard. Almost knocked myself out, I hit my head so hard. After I send this, I may be off line for a few minutes, I don't feel well. I will try again later. After successfully sending and receiving email from the live CD, I booted again and tried connecting with Kmail, first. I got this error message: ---------------------------------------------- Error-Kmail Unknown host pop.att.yahoo.com ---------------------------------------------- I checked configuration and everything was as it should be. Next I tried to connect using the browser. The error message reads Unknown Host and doesn't work.. When I configured Kmail using the Live CD, I used the exact same settings as are on the normal application. I want to remind you too, that I got this same error, prior to re-installing Jaunty to try to fix the problem. I know it probably is not a virus, everyone is certain, but so that I can explain and not confuse you which machine and stuff, I am going to talk like it has a virus. The infected machine had the Unknown Host for browser and unknown host for kmail. Live CD did not. Both Kmail and Konqueror worked normally. The infected computer was formatted and reinstalled, and still had Unknown host for both Kmail and Konqueror. All of this has just now been tested with a direct connection to the ISP via the DSL modem. Thanks! I am encouraged that the Live CD worked. Apparently it is not a hardware problem. Thanks friend.
