The host name should be the name of your ISPs SMTP mail server, this is
usually something along thelines of

	smtp.myisp.com
	mail.myisp.com
	post.myisp.com

smtp. is the most common

You do not need http, or www or anything else on the front, your're trying
to send email, not surf the web...

The smtp host name should be in your email client set up somewhere...

Subject: [pro_vb] soKSMTP control


I am trying to use a sokSMTP control to send an automatic e-mail." I am 
trying to use examples in a textbook as my guide. The problem is that the 
demo from the text does not work. I am suppose to enter four pieces of 
data: the Host Name or IP address (I am trying to use my ISP's name); a to 
and from address and a message. When I click on the send button I am 
getting a message in the log textbox that says, "11001 Authoritative 
Answer Host not found". I have tried the host name with and with out 
http://www and Http://. Neither results in a connection. I do not have my 
ISP's IP address so I am unable to try that in the Host name textbox.

I am connected to the net through my ISP when I try to send the test 
message.

The code for the demo is from the textbook's CD I have just copied it and 
tried to run it.

Can anyone suggest an approach resolving this problem?
