They don't accept web based emails. You need Sky, BT and so on...

Who is your ISP?

When you sign up with an ISP they give you an email address (user.name@ntlworld.com) as an example.

Use this one and you should be fine.

ISP = Internet Service Provider

so basically the people who you pay to allow you to connect to the internet via their services such as BT Internet, Sky, Aol, Virgin, NTL, etc

RSOC dont accept free email addy's as its part of their system that stops web based spam & bots posting crap on the forum

Going from your IP address I would say you are BTOpenworld.

You should have an email account like adrian.barber@btopenworld.com for example.
