Very much normal. Most desk clerks don't have a clue about the internet. The most knowledgable will give you a card with the local support phone number. I have called the support number and have been told to use their email server. They gave me the server name I changed it in my email client (a pain in the ass but it works). I had to do that because my ISP does not have an alternate to port 25. I am going to call them and get that fixed or they are going to lose me as a customer. -- Robert Blair
