Nevertheless, I can get online and browse the Internet no problemo. (I've quintuple checked, plus they are the same that have been working fine for years) After the installer ran the Comcast Install program (allegedly to configure the modem), I noted that my default browser had been reset to IE (I've used Safari for a while now) and that my browser preferences were all set back to default. I guess I'm venting as much as I'm asking for help from anyone with an idea how to overcome these connection errors.ġ. I do. I've only had a couple of problems, once when they switched from attbi to comcast and once when the cable modem started failing intermittently. I've been really happy with Comcast until now. If it had any features at all, I'd just switch from Entourage, but I have years of tweaking and organizing built into Entourage. (Gotta love circular logic.) Mac Mail actually works.

According to Comcast support, this is my problem because I can connect to the Internet, so it's not their fault. Outlook Express fails identically to Entourage. Anyone else have similar issues? Comcast says they do support Outlook Express (running under Mac Classic) and Mac Mail.

Never mind that I've been running Entourage since the day I first installed OS X and that it worked fine at my old place at 11:00 and stopped working at 12:00 at the new place the minute they ran their Installer program. They inform me that they don't support Entourage (news to me) and since I can get on the Internet, it's not their problem. I get connection failures on all my email accounts when tries to connect to, fails, and times out. Since I transferred my Comcast broadband account to my new place (or more accurately, since the installer ran the comcast installer), I can't send or receive mail with Entourage.
