Cannot Connect

From your headers, it looks like you're on Windows. Are you using /view (sorry I don't) or /core? Where is user.r? Or, are you using set-net directly from your script? If not, try that..... Where is your read/write dir? I.E. Sometimes windows configs will force a default read to somewhere else than the current directory.

downloaded a fresh copy, & installed it. Still no go. When it attempts to connect to the internet the connecting... thing flashes down in left hand corner, which is wierd because it usually stays there showing the status. I am not using a proxy server nor have I ever.

Hmmm! Why don't you try this script below. Edit the strings following my-email/from, my-email/server, my-email/to try trace if you like. I find that starting with something very basic at first helps...... REBOL[] my-email: [from "[sender--domain--com]" server "smtp.somewhere.net" to "[recipeint--domain--com]" subject "testing simple SMTP"] ;;===================================================================================== ;;sendmail: arg1 is block with 'sender 'server 'to 'subject ;; arg2 is message body ;;===================================================================================== sendmail: func[setup[block!] message[string!]][ ; try using trace ;trace on set-net[setup/from setup/server none none none none] ;trace off send/header to-email setup/to message make system/standard/email[ from: setup/from subject: setup/subject ] ];end func sendmail my-email "Hi, we're just testing here"

It is highly likely that you will need to use different smtp servers, depending on what machine you are sending email from. In most cases, ISP's don't allow rerouting. For instance, if I am testing from my own machine, I have to use smtp.gci.net. If the finished product is running on my domain, then my cgi program must use postoffice.cniweb.net. I automate this by testing the first octet in system/options/cgi/remote-addr I can be fairly certain that if I am testing on my machine, I will find one of the following as the first octet: private-octets: [192 10 172 127] ;thus: if find private-octets pick to-tuple system/options/cgi/remote-addr 1 [testing: true] I believe that the elements in 'private-octets are inclusive of any reserved for private networks and loop-backs. If I'm wrong - please somebody tell me! :>) And of course, all assumptions above are based on sending email from a CGI program. Tim

I am really sorry to hear that. I'm not familiar with /view at all. It must be a time zone thing..... but participation on this list increases "later" in the day. You might try reposting your problem with a different title, that way it will look fresh , and some of the more experienced rebollers will hopefully be reading it. Good luck tim
