I'm having a server time out problem in OE6. Using 56k Dial-up, it's been
working well for year or so. But lately, it times out after a minute of
trying to download a message.
On DSL it works fine. I have the time outs turned up as high as they can
go. I've uninstalled anti-virus software, turned off all firewall and
cleared the account using a webmail interface.
I sent 1 message to the account as a test, then dialed up and same
problem. I deleted the connection and the modem and reinstalled them
both, same problem.
I reinstalled OE and IE, same problem. I finally did a system restore to a
period when i was certain that it worked and no luck.
The browser is fine and i'm stumped. Yet it functions well on DSL or any
other high speed connection, but no dialup connection from multiple isp's
will work.
In most cases, it offers the Winsock Error - 10053 most times.
Any help will be appreciated.
