    Telkomsa.net email settings for Outlook 3?

    If its an MWEB email address it should just work. Mweb accounts used to be the easiest to sort out as MWEB had an SMTP relay server setup which made things easier. This was quite a number of years back so not sure anymore. It was this address: smtpauth.mweb.co.za using Port 587 with...

    Telkomsa.net email settings for Outlook 3?

    'TelkomSA' email accounts always have this issue when u change to another ISP. And its almost impossible to get it working... this is due to Telkoms mail infrastructure & how its setup. I literally used to deal with this query on a weekly basis... Only thing I found which worked was using a 3rd...

    MetroFibre not bad deal at all.

    Hi @Jackal46 The standard setup is that you will get a private/natted IP - so it will change from time to time when your router reauthenticates. If you sign up with MFN direct, on their fibre, you can get a static IP assigned to your account free of charge. I doubt that has changed (not 100%...

    SMTP issues with Telkom email on Adept fibre network

    Try using SMTP2GO, works well and free. https://www.smtp2go.com/ gives you a SMTP server address to use, a port and which encryption method to use... used it many times. Only limitation on free version is the amount of mails you can send monthly but its 100 or more cant recall

    Metro Fibre Router Configuration

    Hi @Scorpion101 Which ONT do you have? Calix? or a different model? Have you looked into requesting a static IP for your service? Might help with your IoT stuff etc... On the Calix ONT's customers have full access rights to make changes on the device - not too familiar with the Alcatel and...

    problems with metrofibre during loadshedding

    Hi @heinf Strange issue...I mean during loadshedding there would be fewer people online I'm sure... less traffic, less congestion, less interference from other neighbouring wifi...Maybe an issue with the UPS and its power output? Only thing I can think of... or does the router run in a power...

    Metrofibre & ISP What is happening here?

    Sometimes the stuff you read on these forums... with all do respect some people gotta get their facts straight. To blame MFN's network for a client who is being serviced by Vodacom or another ISP? You do realize that Vodacom is the ISP providing those speeds to the end user, not Metrofibre. MFN...

    Metrofibre Building Issue

    Hi @JackAfrican This sounds a bit strange but I'm not sure... Generally the MFN model would be to go into an estate and install fibre & termination points into any unit which was interested in taking up a service. This was also usually done at no cost to the home owner/tenant. Basically... the...

    ISP and SMTP Server

    I work at one of the ISPs and we have had this issue many times. When a client uses an existing ISP email address and migrates to a different ISP the settings in the user's outlook client will need to be changed to match the new ISP. Usually its not too difficult to rectify however specifically...
