can't send links out

[M.]

I have Mozilla and Comcast and have no problems. However, if I am on
internet and try and email a page link to someone I get various error
messages and so far none have gone through. My new computer has VISA on it.

Can anyone please help???

I have posted one of the error messages I have gotten. There have been
others.

Thanks. Marsha

Incorrect server name, it should be 'smtp.comcast.net', not just

HAL......thank you so much for your response. It appears to have resolved
the problem as I have been able to send two links thus far. I fully expected
having to call my computer guru to come over to the house.

I am so glad I found this group.
