The full text of the error message would be helpful (blah, blah leaves out important
information). That includes the server name, server type, port number, socket error code,
SSL, etc. For best results, copy/paste the error message rather than retyping it. You
should be able to highlight the message text in the error window (hold down the left mouse
button while dragging the mouse over the text). Then press Ctrl-C (hold down the Ctrl key
while pressing the C key) to copy the highlighted text to the Windows clipboard. You can
then paste that text into the problem description using the Ctrl-V key combination.
