Re: One workstation can't access email from ISP - CROSSPOST

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

NSLOOKUP works to the POP and SMTP servers, but PING times out and TELNET,
"could not open a connection to the host on port 110 (25). Connect failed."

Start with the basics. Make sure that name resolution is functioning
correctly - nslookup, make sure there is actually physical connectivity -
ping and then telnet to the ISP servers (110 for POP3 and 25 for SMTP) to
see if you can actually connect.

=========================

SBS 2003 Premium, ISA 2004, WSUS, Exchange - all patches/updates current.

Tried last week to switch-over from ISP email (POP/SMTP) to using
Exchange.
Long story - couldn't get it to work, so switched back to where we were.

Now one of the workstations - a Dell Latitude D820 laptop - can't access
the
ISP incoming or outgoing mail servers.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled Outlook 2003, deleted and recreated the
account in Outlook, and rebooted many times - still no change. Also
tried
doing a repair from Control Panel >> Add/Remove Programs - no change.
I next tried creating an email account for him on my workstation using
his
info - and it worked - so tried uninstall/reinstall again on his laptop -
still won't work. Also ensured the Firewall Client was working
correctly - it is.

What am I missing???
