In addition to the peripherals I already listed, I also have a Seagate "Free Agent" external (desktop) hard drive, USB 2.0 connected to the CPU. MaryL

Turning off unnecessary things reduces the number of things which might contribute, in any case. Any email (port interception) scanning is redundant, because individual file scanning already takes care of everything for Eudora mail. > Intel(R) 8256V-2 10/100 Network Connection > There is no "Checksum offload," and I don't see anything similar.

I am running Vista Home Premium. Well, can you bypass that wireless router and see what happens? When the culprit doesn't stand up and confess, a process of elimination is sometimes useful :) How about trying the free SMTP server provided for free Gmail accounts, to test whether the same size attachments are sent better than when using smtp.suddenlink.net (is that your current SMTP server?) What is the size limit per message on SuddenLink? > After I receive the error message when trying to send a message, > I frequently lost Internet connection. > It will then say "Local access only" instead of "Local and Internet" access.

Yahoo does not transmit to your local SMTP server; attachments are first uploaded to Yahoo via HTTP, then Yahoo sends the entire message for you. --

There are usually overall message size limits for outgoing email. Attachments actually _expand_ by 33% when sent in email; that is, a 6MB binary file when sent as a MIME attachment takes 8MB, and three of those would exceed many sending limits (Gmail and Yahoo may have upped their limits to 20MB per message, used to be 10MB per message). > I frequently receive video files from friends (from places like YouTube). > I usually cannot forward them from Eudora, but I can from Yahoo. Eudora can not be compared with Yahoo, because Eudora sends mail via SMTP servers using SMTP protocol, while Yahoo first uploads everything to Yahoo using HTTP, then sends the actual mail for you. Can you send the same attachments using Thunderbird or Outlook Express, using the same SMTP server as Eudora? That would be a better comparison. --

However, the problem still happened--ironically, while the tech was still here, but he still "suspects" the router. > When the culprit doesn't stand up and confess, > a process of elimination is sometimes useful :) > > How about trying the free SMTP server provided for free Gmail accounts, > to test whether the same size attachments are sent better > than when using smtp.suddenlink.net (is that your current SMTP server?) > I'll try that. > What is the size limit per message on SuddenLink? > I don't know what the size limitation is. I'll check into this, but the SuddenLink tech who came out to my house said "there should be no problem" with the size that is causing the problems! >> After I receive the error message when trying to send a message, >> I frequently lost Internet connection. >> It will then say "Local access only" instead of "Local and Internet" >> access. > > Where exactly does "it" say this? > Sorry...I knew that was a poor description, but I don't know the name of the icon. It is the little icon in the task tray(?) that looks like two overlapping computers. It shows when I am connected by cable. Normally, it shows "Currently connected to: Network. Access: Local and Internet." When Eudora fails to send a message and returns the error I reported, this will change to "Local access only." >> I can send the same messages (same computer) by using Yahoo. > > Yahoo does not transmit to your local SMTP server; > attachments are first uploaded to Yahoo via HTTP, > then Yahoo sends the entire message for you. > Thanks for your help.
