Re: Can not send mail in outlook 2007 (not as easy as you think)

Try this for me...

ping -f -l 1472 www.google.com

one of two things will happen

1) there will be 4 successful pings or

2) you get a message back saying packet needs to be fragmented but DF set

The above will help me figure out if your DSL connection is a PPoE type account.


As for the netsh command, I would reboot. The other thing would could try is disabling the auto-tuning feature all together since some soho/dsl modem/routers don't like the way Vista tries to optimize network connection. The command would be...

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

Automatic send/receive fixed by deleting the .srs file!

You are correct. I uninstalled Norton 360 completely with the Norton removal
tool that is supposed to remove all instances of Symantec products...tested
and reinstalled.

My setup>

Vista Home Premium 6.0.6001 SP 1 Build 6001 all updates installed (except
the aforementioned SQL update). DSL connected wirelessly through a
Speedstream 6520 modem/router combo. XP Machine also on network and is
unaffected.

After typing in the command I got an "OK". I assumed I didn't have to
restart so I tested and still nothing. I'm stuck on Preparing to
send/receive. I went ahead and disabled 360's firewall and antispam
protection and nothing. I also have outlooks troubleshooting logging enabled
if that may help any.

I just have a feeling it's Norton because really, what else is there?

Any other tricks up your sleeve?



By the way...I really REALLY appreciate your help. Not many people would
take this amount of time so thank you.

Under Vista, the .srs file is at:

C:\Users\<userid>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook

Just to verify, you uninstalled Norton 360 and the issue is still there...
right?

In which case the next questions I would ask is what kind of connection to
you have to the internet? (Cable, DSL, Dialup, .etc)

Safe to assume that Vista is up to date with service pack 1 and all the
latest and greatest patches from Windows Update?

Other than that and depending on your internet connection, I might suggest
you try the command...

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal congestionprovider=ctcp
ecncapability=enabled timestamps=enabled


Note: If you have UAC on under Visa, you have to do the netsh command in an
elevated command prompt. To do thish, just right click on the command
prompt in the start menu and pick run as administrator.
