New computer blues

[speedwrench]

Last month I replaced my 8 year old Gateway/Win 98 with a "State of the Art" Compaq/Win XP. Everything going OK with the change over (except problems two weeks ago trying to load Crew Chief Pro 6, they're working on that). Yesterday afternoon when I tried to check mail, would connect to dial up ISP, but would not send/recieve mail, error messages below come up:<br /><br /><br /> <br /> <br /><br /> Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'POP3.the.-i.net', Server: 'smtp.the-i.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F<br /><br /><br />The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'POP3.the.-i.net', Server: 'POP3.the-i.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E<br /><br /><br />When try to open Explorer it shows "page not available" message and will not do anything<br /><br />Went back to default settings, disabled firewall, nada. <br />Two ISP techs went thru everything they knew, problem still here. HELP!<br /><br />Yes I'm sending this on old Gateway, it works fine.<br /><br />Thanks Dave

Check the firewall, antivirus, anti-spyware... something has tossed up a roadblock. Zone alarm the list goes on. I also heard that Norton and AOL users just had a major clash and of course they blame each other.

Re: New computer blues

You're probably right, had anti viris turned off when trying to load Crew Chief, forgot to turn back on. Think #1 son fixed me up. <br />Now AV won't open because needs update, can't get update cause it don't see the connection. <br />Catch44 AAAAGGGUUUUUG!<br /><br />Dave
