entourage account settings

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Processor: Power PC
Email Client: pop

I am trying to set up a new temporary email account in Entourage, and am having issues with the sending of messages. When trying to check the DNS settings in System Preferences:Network (as suggested in the error message), I receive a message stating that; "My account settings have been changed by another application". I cannot dismiss this message, or access the menu, and can only exit System Preferences by a Force Quit. The network is broadband via Netgear wireless modem/router, for which I have had no problems at all thus far.

I believe the sending issue may have more to do with an incorrect SMTP address, but I am concerned that I am not able to check or amend my network system preferences. Can anyone assist me with this problem?

Thanks

This is probably a question for a more appropriate groups such as Apple
Discussions <http://discussions.apple.com>.

Only an application or script can change your System Preferences
settings without you doing it manually. But only you know what you've
installed that could do that.

Good luck!
