It basically means that gmail uses STARTTLS authentication and does not support SMTP authentication. ...
But I beleive that is not the problem in your case Google uses port 465 for SMTP communication, but no where in your code did I see the reference of a Port number. and what ever component you are using should support SSL connection because google uses SSL connection for POP3 and SMTP.

I am also new to VB .NET. Is There a VB method available that will return a an application users e-mail provider information, eliminating the need to input the SMTP Server IP information?

I am worrying about deployment. Many users of this application, including myself, find it difficult to lookup SMTP Information to provide to the application, in order to have the e-mail functionality work properly.

Actually Outlook 2007 does it...when you create a new account in Outlook 2007..allyou need to do is provide your complete email address and then Outlook fills all the rest for you.
