I dont know whther adding IP will help you or not... it is because of your net connection... Contact your ISP and ask them to rectify the problem... thats the only solution for that... Also, if you are using win 2000/XP then, it has an icon in the system tray indicating connection (two computers are shown)... when you send the message and both the computers glow (blue), then it means the message has been delivered... no way for win 98 /ME
I hope it helps
