If you're trying to set up your account with your incomming and outgoing servers with the address "mail" then you need to hook up the modem directly to one of the computers and manually ping the server as follows:

ping mail

The results will give you the actual address of your server then enter that address in the account setup.

Or you can call customer service and they should have the address.
