Mail and Web Server Information
Some broadband providers use single words to direct the connection to their E-mail or
web servers (i.e. web, mail, pop3, www). If your ISP uses single words rather than a
whole internet address (pop.mail.actiontec.com), or IP address (24.55.224.34), then
you will need the full address information to configure your internet browser and/or E-
mail clients.
If this information was not provided during the installation and configuration of your
broadband connection, then you will need to contact your ISP and ask for it.
