Gmail on Mac Mail sending mail issue.?

I just got a new mac laptop, (it does not have Snow Leopard, or whatever that new thing is) and i wanted to set up the mail application with my gmail email account. I can recieve emails, but i cannot send them. The error i get is The SMTP server “smtp.gmail.com” doesn’t support authentication. Please check your account settings and try again. Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be delivered. i think the problem is that i do not have the correct port number, but different places on the internet say that it is different things. help!
