Re: un solvable problem

laptop right now.

Out of curiousity, have you tried a different mail client while wireless
to see if it works? Also, if you take the laptop to a free-wifi provider
in the area, does it work from there? I'm not entirely convinced that
Outlook, or even your laptop, is the problem.

that's what I thought as well, and I've checked and checked and checked.
Also, I disabled the firewall, anti-spam monster and still had the same
problem. But I will check again.

Any clues as to a Norton Support group, similar to this, where someone
other then being on the phone for 4 hours might have a suggestion.
(((Sigh))))

Okay, your router works fine so as your notebook computer. Microsoft
Outlook
works when you are connected through a wire but not wirelessly.

My suspect - Your Firewall Software. I do believe that some firewall
software maintains different profiles for different connections
(Ehternet,
Wireless) and different locations (Coffee Shop, etc) and for some reason
your
firewall software might be blocking the connection to your mail server.
Check
your firewall software if it is properly configured, make sure that your
mail
server is NOT blocked when you are using wireless.

Okay,

So here's my story. I have a dell laptop. I use office 2003 and I
have a
wireless internet connection in my home. All have worked FINE for over
a ear.

Last week I called Dell because of a problem with the cursor. My bios
and a
driver for the ThinkPad thing were updated. I had some problems
connecting
to the internet but we resolved it. So I thought.

I took the laptop out the next day and used Outlook but used it OFF
LINE. I
cam home adjusted it to work back ONLINE and all was or seemed okay.

Now, about a week later, I am unable to retrieve my email using
outlook. I
have access to the internet with the wireless connection and I have
checked
ALL of the outlook settings with my email provider (I have my own
website
and my own email address), I checked with my ISP and they suggested
connecting the laptop to my router with a wire. When I did, it worked!
So we concluded it was something with the wireless router. I called
LINKSYS
(router people) and they concluded that nothing was wrong with the
router
because another system in the house uses the wireless connection with
outlook and works fine and because I have internet service, there is no
problem. Which I agree with, but why would OUTLOOK work when the
computer
is connected to the router with a wire and NOT when it is connected
wirelessly. IF anyone has ANY ideas. Please ...help. I'm leaving for
vacation and need that wireless system to work.
