Question about 'Share an Internet Connection'

I have a question about Share
an Internet Connection:
My boyfriend has a cable connection to the internet and we have set up our computers
on a LAN via a crossover CAT5 cable (his is the server). We can share files and
I can use my machine to access the internet via his cable connection.
However, I cannot work out how to get Outlook Express 6 to check my POP3 mail accounts
from my machine. I had to set up his OE6 to read my accounts, which works but would
like to do it from my machine too.
I have told OE that I am on a lan and not dial up but I guess it is looking for the
Yahoo server on the local area network and, of course, it will never find it. OE
Help is useless, and so am I, so any advice would be appreciated.

Could you be more specific on how you share his internet connection? Do you use a
proxy server, ICS, or etc.?

Providing OE has been told to connect via LAN there shouldn't be a problem - are
you sure this setting is operational?
Assuming OE is nominated as your e-mail programme in IE (Tools>Options>Programs)
have you tried retrieving via IE which will in turn utilise OE?!
I use Outlook and have never had a problem with my WinGate proxy server on any of
the hosts of our home network
