Can not send messages after upgrading machine from dialup to ethernet connection

Alright - that's fixed. I called Earthlink tech support. Great that they answer phones on Sunday and were willing to dig in a bit. They took over my machine remotely. Tech had never heard of Pegasus but it was all in the settings for Sending Mail, including some Security settings.

Weirdest thing just happened - Pegagus said it had to close and would send an error report. I get back in, continuing to delete old mgs, etc, was going to look at the settings to mention here, and they are gone.

But it still works.

testing new install of Peg on new machine.

I have been using Peg 4.21 on an old WIN98 machine with a dialup modem - worked fine for many years.

But now I have moved to a faster internet as a first step in getting rid on landline.

I have installed new Peg 4.73 on a newer machine with XP.

Connecting to internet OK with ethernet cable plugged into new modem/router.

I have another machine also plugged in and working fine, but do not use email there.

After struggling to move old mail over to new Peg install, I try to send a test msg and get this -

SMTP Send Mail Error - you do not have an active SMPT definition....

I went there and entered by SMTP address - mail.earthlink.net

also ran the setup wizard - still does not work (Firefox is working)
