Excellant point.  Things have turned around a lot now I think.  My ISP was 
having some !problems! today.  They were calling !me! to tell them the error 
stuff because windoze would only tell them it was unable to connect but mine 
tells why.  So instead of me calling them so much, thay are calling me some 
now.

They did get it to where I can connect to the internet again.  I still have to 
use Kmail though to send anything.  At least I don't have to go to my 
brothers to get on the net.  It's bad enough using Kmail to talk to my 
ladies.  LOL

I fixed Mozilla on my OLD install.  It opens now.  I can get new messages with 
it at least.  This is the info for it:

root@smoker / # emerge -pv mozilla

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] www-client/mozilla-1.7.12-r2  +crypt -debug +gnome +ipv6 +java 
+ldap -mozcalendar -mozdevelop -moznocompose -moznoirc -moznomail -moznoxft

I'm not sure what that ipv6 is for.  I put -ipv6 in the USE line of make.conf 
and it is still there.  How do I disable that thing?   I ask because I 
noticed this with Kmail:

root@smoker / # emerge -pv kmail

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

[ebuild   R   ] kde-base/kmail-3.5.0-r3  +arts -debug -kdeenablefinal 
-kdexdeltas -xinerama 0 kB

NO ipv6 there.  

I was told that management would be calling me in the morning to try to figure 
out my email issue.  I may take my computer up there and just let them look 
at it, without the root password of course.  I would still be driving my 
rig.  ;-)

If anybody has any ideas, I'm open to them.  I'm really starting to think this 
is a ISP problem though.  I thought it was before but I'm really thinking it 
now.

I'll keep you posted.
