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

It may be a bit. I'm doing a "XP's No-Reformat, Nondestructive
Total-Rebuild Option" I found at
http://www.informationweek.com/shared/printableArticle.jhtml?articleID=189400897
Since I did SP2 from CLientApps vice a CD, I now have a major problem with
setup; it's looking for a file from the SP2 CD named AMSA - all I ahve in
CLient Apps is a folder with that name. Stuck in a loop in Setuip as a
result. Am trying to create a slipstream disk with everything on it in
hopes it'll work. Otherwise I may have to re-format the HD. (What a pain;
it's the Director's laptop and his saves EVERYTHING on it.)

Ok, lets try one last thing by bypassing SBS. Take your computer and
unplug from your switch. Remove or disable the ISA Firewall client. Go
to your Router and see if you any ethernet ports, most routers will have 4
ports. Take your computer and plug it in directly on the Router. You may
need to manually assign your NIC an address. Now telnet to Port 110 and
25 to an outside mail server? Do you get a response.

(2) Installed and ran a Capture. Unfortunately, I don't know how to
analyze what I see. I see a bunch of "UNKNOWN!"'s for the MAPI
protocol - and I don't know why it'd be that protocol. - and I see a very
few POP protocols, but don't know how to interpret what I'm seeing.

(3) Switch is nothing more than a patch panel; switched him to a new
port - same result.

(4) Same result.

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???
