I have live mail set up on my home account and it works great there.
However,
when I am away from that account using another server it can only receive
mail not send mail. Is there a way to configure it to send when I am
connected to a public account such as a hotel?
Thanks for any help.

It depends on what your mail provider offers. If you can *only* send mail
on Port 25, when you are connected to another network, you won't be able to
send. This is completely normal now. For anti-spam purposes, mail
relaying on Port 25 is blocked by most ISPs.
Contact your mail provider and see if they offer another port.
Alternately, you can create a gmail account and use that as your outgoing
server, and this will work from pretty much anywhere in the world. There's
a little bit of setup, but if you collect the instructions and understand
them, you can have this set up and working in under half an hour. Google
has all the directions you need. On some mail clients, particularly the
Mac mail client Entourage, mail sent this way will arrive addresseed as
from," (e-mail address removed) on behalf of (e-mail address removed)"
