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

Ok,

1. Run IPCONIG /ALL at command prompt to insure TCIP settings are correct
on client.

2. If settings are correct, download and install Ethereal
http://www.ethereal.com/download.html and start a capture of your NIC to see
what is happening.

3. Check your Network Switch to insure its not blocking any traffic on your
computers port. Try a different network port too see if this helps.

4. Try a different network cable on your computer.

Post back with your findings.

Unistalled the Small Business Server Firewall Client, unchecked all 4
items for the Local Area Connection, then re-booted. Set up Local Area
Connection again, did not install the FC, tried Outlook and .... same old
thing, error 0x80042108. Tested account from the setup and it failed on
everything but detecting a network connection.

First thing I did was to check the internet for the latest driver for the
NIC, found I already have it.

Geez, there can't be anything left for me to do - besides spend the money
for a tech to fix the darn thing. Unless you've still got ideas?

Try turning off the Windows Firewall temporarily to test connection.

I checked the Network Connection and decided to add both ISP mail servers
to the WinXP firewall allowance list - same results, can't PING or TELNET
to them.
Running a virus scan (Norton AV Corporate Ed., definitions dated 19
July). If that doesn't find anything, I'll do a Repair of WinXP from
Control Panel. Now that I think of it, I better check his spyware app to
see if it's running.

Something is blocking you. Given you are having problems with a single
client it would suggest a local firewall or port blocking app. If you
are sure it is not the Windows XP firewall look elsewhere.

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.

Crosspost from microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs
=========================

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???
