I have no problem accessing the internet on my wireless PowerBook and wired G4 but not able to download any email. Entourage says there was an "error" retreiving my mail. All I did was swap my older Linksys router with the new "G" wireless router. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Double check to make sure you are using the right POP server and have the right password.

Also make sure the router is not set to block TCP port 110.

Upgrade the firmware. If you have the Linksys WRT54G it definately needs it. When I first started using mine, it would not let me do anything until I upgraded it.

The newest firmware is 1.42.3 but I found that one to be very buggy so I went back to 1.42.2.

.3 just made my connection unstable, so I dumped it...
