Re: Error 10061, 0x800ccc0e, bug?



I have NIS 2005 and disabling it did not solve the problem. I really do
think this is a Windows Update problem. I read an article some time back
that there were problems with SP2 and Outlook Express. The problem was a
different one, but maybe some of the new updates have caused more problems.

My XP support license may still be good and I might give that a try, but I'm
always hesitant because you always get a level one support person on your
first try and it always seems like you have to go through several replies
before they actually are able to identify the problem. I know they will
first try to rule out if it is our ISP's.

On another post, it was mentioned that NIS might have corrupted User
Identity files and suggest creating a new identity. But, what a pain! I'm
sure tht means you can't save anything from Outlook. Right?

Carole, which software are you using for virus and firewall?
Only asking to rule out that possibility.

This exact same thing happened to me about 2 weeks ago. There is absolutely
nothing wrong with my ISP connection or email settings. You need to pay
attention that this in only happening when a new user is logging on. This
does not happen if you reboot/restart the computer. This only happens when
one user logs off and another user logons. After reboot, everything works
fine! Like Mike said, having to reboot is not a solution.

Still works fine, but only for the first user. Next user who logs in gets
the error 10061. Port 110 and 25 are blocked.
And I have edit the error message, because I was not at home.

Spam blockers and mail scan did not change anything. Still can't send or
receive mail after changing account in windows.


Mike, the error indicates that you are failing to connect to the server,
most common reason for this is that you have the wrong POP and or SMTP
server in your account setup, or you are trying to connect to a server that
you are not connected to?

Check at your ISP for the correct settings.

Who is your ISP because the error does not appear to return a valid server
name?

Most errors appear like this for example:

The connection to the server has failed.
Account: 'timber2498', Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com',
Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error:
10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Your error is:
The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'your_account',
Server:'your_POP3_server', Protocol:POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): NO,
Socket error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800ccc0e

Did you edit the error?

What is the connection setting in the account tools>accounts>double click
the account>connection tab?

Try removing the always connect using check mark?
