Mail Problems 2 Macs

[huck55555@mac.c]

I have 2 G3's running OSX, connected by ethernet. When my wife and I were running OS9 we used Vicomsoft SurfDoubler to use internet browser and mail. Took time but it worked out well.

Since OSX change over she can get browser function with MS Explorer but not Safari. She can't get any mail programs to work. It says it can't locate server and something about a port.

Is there something I need to know? Someplace to learn? Software I need?

Any help would reduce the whine level and ease my frustration.

Thanks
