Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / March 2005OT = Computer help???
For some reason, my Outlook Express gives me the following error message when I try to read my mail. I am able to read the newsgroups with OE just fine. Anyone have any ideas as to what I might do to fix this?? Thanks! MikeH Duh..... forgot to include the error message!! Here it is! The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'pop3.knology.net', Server: 'localhost', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E Internet is working fine. Newsgroups with OE fine. I have not changed/adjusted any settings. I have done a hard reset, and that didn't make any difference.

Give them a call and see if you can get someone in tech support who knows a thing or two about computers.....grin. It could be server error......or any number of things. I don't believe it is your computer. FWIW.....it will be gone tomorrow. And there is probably a canned message on your tech support line telling you there are email problems in your area. Sh*t happens.

You can't use it at your end. I just tried telnetting to port 110 at pop3.knology.net and the connection went through. So maybe your problem has been fixed. If not, call them. You could also try emailing them if you have a webmail somewhere that you can still use - or checking their website to see if they have any notes about the problem. Alan Hello, All!! Was still having problems this morning, so I finally called. Took the guy a few minutes to get me to change some settings in the mail account and it is working. The thing is.... I never changed any settings on my end, so I don't know what caused the problem. Is it possible for a virus to change email settings?? Anyway, thanks for all who offered assistance! Glad to be back up and running again! Happy Easter to all..... MikeH Hi Mike..... Just gremlins, usually. And it was not likely to be a virus......not too many new ones around these days, btw. Mostly spyware and hijackers.....they seem to be the wave of the future. I have had that happen myself, which is why I suggested you call your ISP.......they changed settings on my OE as well. But it is still something screwy at their end. They won't ever admit that one tho, grin. Happy Easter to you as well......Heather > Hello, All!! > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Happy Easter to all..... > MikeH > Hi Mike..... > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Happy Easter to you as well......Heather Well I just thank god that I'm an atheist. The telly is awash with crap, and the "second" and digital channels are all showing Easter stuff, ITV3 yet again showed Jesus of Nazareth! Jesus was here in London today, just ambling around nibbling the palms of his hands, so I asked him what he was doing? He replied: "Just biting my nails", then on the pitch in the park he leapt up to head the football, I told the kids it was just Jesus going up for the cross...................... I can remember a carpenter telling me once that his proffession was blessed because Jesus had also been a carpenter, I had to point out so had Karen and look what happened to her! |
