I use wireless at home, wireless at work, and gprs otherwise. These obviously use separate smtp servers to send mail. How can I set this up???

You can set the outgoing smtp mail server on each account. Just set up multiple accounts.
yeuch! I see microsoft thought long and hard about that one

How else do you imagine your email is going to be sent using another account? That isn't the fault of your device, it is the way SMTP works. Most smart companies have Relay turned off on their servers anyway. Yes they could set it up to allow Relay on authentication, but from a useability standpoint I believe that setting a specific SMTP server per account is the smart way to go.
well, I'm not sure about SMTP in other places, but in NL it's often a case of whether your ISP-assigned IP address belongs to the same company running the SMTP.
E.g. when I'm up north in the country, I'm using wifi on an @home network, and need to set my smtp to mail dot home dot nl . But when I'm back at home, I'm going through Casema, and need to set smtp to smtp dot casema dot nl.
I *could* set up two accounts, but then all my e-mail is separate as well. Instead, I just change that little variable, and I'm all set for the duration of my stay at either location.
LOL! I have the same issue! I want to manage mutiple SMTP servers but the only way appears to be manualy changing the setting.
Surley somebody could write a small app with perhaps common SMTP servers and the ablility to add your own server settings and then poke it into the smtp setting?
I'm not a programmer but I don't think it''l be that difficult? All you would need is a selection screen od smtp servers and then get the app to change the setting???
Any programmers up for that challenge? :shock:
multiple smtp servers - solution
Hi Guys
The only thing I see for this problem is to use server which does not check where are you connecting from. Something like www.inmail.sk
In this case I use for all my account different pop3 receive server, but all have the same smtp (smtp.inmail.sk). Just every account using they own email address. This way the emails will be send as they would be from different accounts.
Of cause you have to get one inmail account. Which is free anyway.

The better solution is to find out if one of your email providers supports smtp authentication.
As someone mentioned earlier most providers block "relaying" -- sending email while connected to a network other than their own -- so people can't use their server for spam.
Luckily, some of the smarter email providers also provide a solution to this problem -- authentication, which just means to provide your username and password. Then you can use their server no matter what network you happen to be attached to whether it's gprs, wifi, or whatever.
You can find out whether your smtp server supports authentication by telnetting to it from your desktop computer.
At a command prompt type
telnet yoursmtpserverhere 25
then type
ehlo yoursmtpserverhere
If it returns something like AUTHENTICATION or AUTH PLAIN TEXT, you're golden.
Use that server for all of your email accounts and enable authentication in each account by going to the last email account set up screen and clicking Options. On the second Option screen, check the box "Server requires authentication".
Then click on Use Seperate Settings and enter the username and password for the email account of the smtp server you're using.
Now you'll be able to send email no matter what network you are connected to.
Hi folks, I have a slight annoyance with my MDA Vario. If I'm using GPRS to connect, obviously I have to use T-Mobile's SMTP server to send emails.
However, if I'm connected to my wireless network at home, I have to change my settings to use my ISPs SMTP server (since the T-Mobile one thinks I'm spam relaying).
Is there any easy way to set it up so it automatically uses the correct SMTP server in each case?
Thanks!
I've been experiencing the lag in browsing mentioned in the FAQ for the hermes:
There is a long delay while PIE display's a message 'Locating' - this last's about 30 seconds before the web page is displayed.
Put a hardcoded DNS server in network configuration instead of getting it by dhcp.
I've found the settings pages to let me alter this but I have no idea on what to enter in them!
Can anyone help? I couldn't find anything in teh networking forum for this.
Cheers
I also have this problem. Not 30 seconds, just 3 or 4 seconds. (Also on T-Mobile).
You can try another DNS server, google for one. I have no idea what is a fast reliable DNS server.

I can only send email from my isp account when I am connected to the road runner network via wifi or from my computer. Is there anyway around this, different smtp address or anything.
Thanks!
It is common for ISP's to only allow sending using their email servers when you are directly connected to their network.
This was introduced around 10 years ago to help in the fight against relaying of spam emails.
You will find that you can receive over any network, but only send when directly connected.
My work around is to use my cell operators smtp server instead, (if you have a mobilie phone number, chances are you have a mobile email account too).
Mobile networks tend to allow you to connect from any network.
So as long as you set the reply name/address to your isp one, no one will ever know the difference. You will receive from your isp inbox, and when you send to someone, the reply address they see will be your ISP address, no one will see the mobile network was involved at all.

Hello,
I'm trying to set up USAccess on my Nexus Player. As there are no existing guides, I've just been using standard Android guides. So far, I am unable to connect to the internet after changing my DNS settings. I've been searching endlessly and have only found questions regarding this topic before the Nexus Player was released.

I tested on my NP both by changing the DNS settings on the device and at the router level and did not have any luck connecting to Netflix on either. With the DNS set on the device, the internet connection wouldn't work on any app but when I changed it on the router, apps worked (Play store for example) but Netflix wouldn't connect.
I wonder if it is similar to the Chromecast where the DNS settings are hardcoded and you need to set up some modifications on your router (or have root access to make the necessary changes).
My suggestion would be to open a ticket with USAccess and they may be able to assist/verify that everything is configured correctly.
Setting DNS on my router works for me for accessing Australian content from the states. So this seems to be a netflix specific thing.

I'm in Canada and Netflix usa works fine for me (go to settings in Netflix and under member if it says US then it should be working) I use unblockus I have my dns settings changed on the router. Now just need a way for the nexus player to load the usa play store, this has always been tricky on Android. Worst case I will sideload Hulu for the time being.
I'm also up in Canada, and I was able to use unotelly's DNS to access Netflix US. I did notice that after changing the DNS settings on the player itself, I couldn't connect to anything until I changed the language setting in the settings app to us English (instead of Canadian), and although everything is connecting now, I've lost the recommendations bar (it just says recommendations are not available right now)
So far USAccess.ca is not working here either. Going to need to do more digging and see what the device is actually trying to do!
I am also up in Canada and I use AdFreeTime DNS service, however I cannot get Netflix to work. When I change the DNS addresses on my router to AdFreeTime, Netflix throws an -100 connection error, but everything else connects fine. I am re-routing google's dns services 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to AdFreeTime DNS servers through iptables on my Asus router. Maybe that's an issue?
Can someone from Canada who has Netflix US working post exactly how they got Netflix to connect properly? Thank you.
I just got usaccess.ca working... It turns out I think my version of DD-WRT had some dnsmasq issues (even with strict-order enabled). I flashed a newer release of DD-WRT so i could get tcpdump working and when i finally went to capture the traffic, low and behold netflix was working with the US DNS servers set in dnsmasq. I could even watch US content
Now i just need to find that Hulu Plus .apk!!!

As a followup: I got Netflix US content working properly on the NP by setting my router to my US dsn services, but I had to disable routing the google dns servers to my AdFreeTime dns servers (which I was doing through an iptables script on my custom Asus AC68U router.) This kind of blows as routing google dns to US dns services such as AdFreeTime, Unblock US, etc was the only way to make the Chromecast work with US Netflix and other services from Canada.
There has to be a way to keep those pesky google dns services built in to Chromecast and the Nexus Player routed to unblocked US dns services without messing up Netflix on the NP.
Any ideas would be greatly welcomed.
The Nexus Player doesn't have hard coded DNS servers. I was able to change my WIFI connection from DNS to STATIC; enter in static, gateway, and DNS (USAccess) IPs and a day later, the settings took and my Netflix region change to US EN.

+1 for this problem, I get the error -100, using USAccess. Have tried setting a static profile with USAccess DNS and with the IP's on my router. Works fine on my Amazon Fire TV but not the Nexus Player.
I had the same problem with usaccess, so I used the trial of unotelly to compare. unotelly works perfectly including displaying the US play store. Could be worth the extra expense, i have 7 days left to decide .
So following this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/general/how-to-change-dns-ip-t2953282
USAccess is still not working for you?
I'm using 107.20.195.51 not their new region switching DNS IP.

I do all that and it says ip address not valid. Could you give a better description on what exactly ip addresses and gateways ishould use. Id really appreciate it

Everyone has a different home network setup. So, I'll try to help you out.
Go to:
Settings
Network
Wi-Fi Connected
Pick your current Wi-Fi connection
Status info
Write down the IP address
e.g 192.168.2.23
When you go back to your Advanced settings, use the following:
IP address = IP address you wrote down from above (e.g. 192.168.2.23)
Gateway = You will have to figure out. It is usually the first three sets of numbers from your IP address and .1
So, from my example, Gateway = 192.168.2.1
Network prefix length = 24
DNS 1 = Enter in your DNS IP
DNS 2 = Use your secondary DNS IP
I use USAccess so my numbers are
Primary DNS: 107.20.195.51 Secondary DNS: 107.20.190.171
Hit next and you should see settings saved message.

I have done this, tried three different wifi networks, both with and without USAccess. I'm starting to think there is something with Netflix that it just won't work in Sweden.
Hasn't anyone who previously had the -100 error been able to resolve it?
Does anyone know what the netflix app is trying to do when we get the -100 error? I would like to find this out so I can tell my ISP about it as they offer their own DNS redirection service so we can get access to things like netflix in the USA.
I have 8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8 redirected to a fake IP so that those addresses timeout at the router, but netflix will still not load unless I put unotelly's DNS directly on the NP. My roku on the other hand works without putting unotelly's DNS settings.
