Problem sending >50 KB Attachments

I have been banging my head on this one all day. I even spent most of
today looking at netnews for a solution to this one.

I'm using XP Home, with cable modem service.

I have 5 email accounts with my ISP. We have a Netgear wireless
network with three computers on the network.

I'm having trouble sending any type of attachment that is over 50 KB
from my computer. The outgoing is SMTP.

My ISP has a 10MB email disk quota limit, which there is nothing used.
I can verify my mail box with the web mail client.

I have no problems sending 100 KB attachments on my spouses computer,
which is just using on the the five email accounts the ISP provides.

I tried to send >50 KB attachments with Netscape EMAIL, Outlook
Express, and Outlook 2000, which I normally use and have the save
problem. The send/receive goes to around 94-97% and just stick in the
out box. I'm sending doc files and jpegs as test files.

I completly disabled my McAfee Internet Security package and still
have problems.

I even called a friend who has the same ISP and ask to use one of his
spare POP3 email accounts, which I configured on Netscape email and
got the same problem.

I only have problems sending and no problems receiving files greater
than 50 KB.

I tried an experiment in outlook, under properties, where I can break
apart messages. I set this to break apart messages greater than 50 KB
and was able to send a 120 KB file. I really don't want to have to do
this.

I'm wondering if there is some kind of TCP/IP setting that messed up.
Any help appreciated.
 
Already replied to in your separate multipost on the same query in the
microsoft.public.outlook newsgroup under the Subject of "Can't send
attachements greater than 50 KB"
(
When posting the same question to multiple newsgroups, crosspost to each
newsgroup. Multiposting (where you send separate copies of the same
post to multiple newsgroups) results in more bandwidth and disk space
consumed on the news server (i.e., that's rude). Multiposting is also
somewhat rude to other users since each post is disconnected from its
other copies, so respondents don't see the replies already submitted to
the other copies and can waste their time providing the same answers
over and over. Crosspost! To crosspost, specify all the newsgroups
where you want your message to appear in the To header. Don't crosspost
to too many newsgroups, however, as this can be seen as slamming or
spamming the newsgroups and the server may employ filtering that
discards all your posts. Even if you decide to multipost instead of
crosspost, don't be rude by being "tricky" in changing the Subject line.
If it's the same post then use the same Subject line.
