I’m having a problem with my ISP that has gone unresolved for nearly a week.
I can receive email fine and I can browse the web no problem, but I cannot send any email messages. I have one email address in Outlook Express and two in Outlook 2003. When I send mail, I get an error (error # 0x800CCC0E in Outlook Express and error # 0x80042109 in Outlook 2003). I’ve tried using the Pegasus and Mozilla mail clients, too, but also get errors.
I cannot telnet to port 25 on my ISP’s mail server. I’ve talked to their tech support several times and most recently the tech set up a machine in their lab to log on as me and he was able to send messages fine.
It appears there is something whacked on my machine, but I can’t figure out what it is. Any ideas on what might be preventing my machine from hitting port 25?
I have completely removed Norton AntiVirus and disabled ZoneAlarm Pro, so there is nothing else that might be interfering with my dialup connection. I’ve had this machine for over a year and this problem just came up suddenly last week…
