| Q. My computer says I am connected, but when I try to go to get mail I get an error stating the server could not be reached. |
| A. First step is to test if you can bring up a website, if this doesnt work, reboot your computer. When the machine comes back up, try and reconnect and browse. If you still are unable to bring up a website, there is a chance that your DNS information needs to be configured in your computer manually. To do this, please contact Technical Support for help. |

| Q. When I try to download email an error pops up saying the connection timed out. |
| A. You might have a large email on the server waiting to be downloaded. In order to check this or to clear out the large email you can log into Mail. Once there log in with your username and password to view the problem email. If you continue to have issues, please contact Technical Support for help. |
