Hi there.. don't start a new thread, when someone think something about your problem it will tell you.

I never had problems sending mails, but if you don't know the SMTP name, how do you expect to send it??

where's the code you use to send the mail?

Hi there Gonzalo this is my improved question. I think it is clear now what im trying to say thanks for the respond.

my problem is only within this code: It says it cannot resolve the remote name:'[email protected]'

<system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp deliveryMethod="Network">
        <network host="[email protected]" />
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

here's the code:

 Protected Sub CreateUserWizard1_SendingMail(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.MailMessageEventArgs) Handles CreateUserWizard1.SendingMail
    ' Customize the mail body by replacing the placeholders in the static mail body file with actual values.
    e.Message.Body = e.Message.Body.Replace("##Id##", Membership.GetUser(CreateUserWizard1.UserName).Pro viderUserKey.ToString())
    e.Message.Body = e.Message.Body.Replace("##UserName##", CreateUserWizard1.UserName)

        Dim applicationFolder As String = Request.ServerVariables.Get("SCRIPT_NAME").Substri ng(0, Request.ServerVariables.Get("SCRIPT_NAME").LastInd exOf("/"))
        e.Message.Body = e.Message.Body.Replace("##FullRootUrl##", Helpers.GetCurrentServerRoot & applicationFolder)
  End Sub

Well.. that's the name of the host for your network?

Hi there,

If this is related to the book ASP.NET 2.0 - Instant Results, you would have been better off posting this in the book's own forum: http://p2p.wrox.com/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=249

Anyway, you probably need to talk to your network administrator to get the right information like the SMTP server name. Maybe they don't allow you to use their SMTP server remotely, maybe you need to pass in credentials before you are allowed to use them; maybe the server is only accessible from within a specific network (range). We can't answer these kind of questions for you; only the system administrator will be able to answer them for you.

In web.config you need to define the mail server, not the address. So, anything with an @ in it will fail. The config element looks like this: If you need to pass a user name and password, try this: Hope this helps,
