Its most likley that your work blocks the outgoing SMTP ports to the net, well i do at my office. Its not needed when the company has an internal network & limits virus activity if it gets on your network ( for viruses that have their own SMTP engine & bypass outlook).

I think its that because you say it cannot find the SMTP server, if it gave a error message along the lines of relaying, unknown host etc... then i would say that it was because you are trying to connect to the SMTP host of another ISP which normaly is not allowed.

Talk to your IT dept and see if they have another SMTP server you can setup. I would create two accounts in Outlook, 1 for home & office. Set only 1 to receive your email and both to send, with a prefrence to send via the wanadoo servers. The second would be set to manual sending. That way when you create an email you select in the message what account you want to send the email through.

It can be confusing, but i have about 10 accouns on my computer for various things.
