I.T. Guru's, I could use some help!

[Mgderf]

I need to find the incoming/outgoing addresses for Outlook Express.
Can anyone help me?

Do you mean the port numbers? Or are you talking the e-mail servers themselves? What ISP are you using? The ISP should have given you some kind of sheet with the information for setting up your e-mail accounts, but apparently they have not.

edit - sorry, ISP = internet service provider.

I have NO idea!
I am all but completely computer illiterate.
I had to restore my computer back to factory settings, and now I can't use Outlook Express. I can't send or receive ANYTHING from Outlook.
My computer says it does not recognize the incoming/outgoing I.P. addresses for Outlook. My brother told me if I could find the addresses, he could re-enter them into my computer. Until then?

I kind of had a feeling my questions wouldn't be understood as I am speaking in geek-speak, . So for that I apologize. Just let me know who gives you your internet (such as comcast or Bright House) and I will try to track down the information for you. I am pretty sure from what you have told me all you need to do is set up your e-mail server information which is relatively straightforward.

I think you mean your POP and SMTP settings.
Call your internet service provider and ask them.
Or google your ISP name plus pop and smtp.
But a call (to India) might help quicker.
