I just purchases the subject router (after returning a Netgear that I gave
up installing) and I cant see to access roadrunner e-mail via OE. I can go
to webmail and get it fine but cannot connect to my provider (cfl.rr.com)
port to pull my mail down......any ideas?

TIA

ARe you sure you configured the POP3 and smtp servers correctly in OE?

Can you ping both the POP3 and smpt servers?

Have you changed ISP or is everything through roadrunner? If you changed
ISP, then outgoing mail may have to be sent through the new ISP's mail
server. In OE, how did you enter the address of the mail servers? Do all
of the addresses end with rr.com or are they abbreviated?

I'm a little confused. You say that you can "go to webmail and get it
fine but cannot connect to my provider". I'm assuming you are able to
use your browser to access webmail.cfl.rr.com and retrieve your email
messages, but cannot retrieve them via Outlook Express. If that is
the case, it is my belief that Outlook Express is not configured
correctly or configured at all to retrieve your email. In that case,
you need to start your OE program and click on TOOLS, then ACCOUNTS
then ADD mail and follow the easy instructions.

Try lowering the MTU value on your router in steps of 10 until it works (if
you have to go >200 lower from the default then it may not be an MTU
problem). This seems to be one of the general solutions from Linksys if
mail cannot be downloaded.
