Win2000 and @home

[wxman]

My ONLY issue with Win2k has been Outlook Express. It works, as long as I don't want to send any mail! WTF! I've set it up just like in 98SE, and even played with a wide variety of different settings. It just... well here read:

The host 'mail' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: 'netmail.home.com', Server: 'mail', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D


The host 'mail.home.com' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: 'netmail.home.com', Server: 'mail.home.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D


I'm lost, and this is getting frustrating.

Thanks,

Call @Home and make sure your settings are correct. Mine works perfectly in Win2k.

@home is notorious for its bad mail server. I've so far complained to them numerous times. Once their system even lost my profile and had to pull out the backup.

if you type in these numbers as your account for in and out going it should correct the problem...24.0.95.84, it is the same address as netmail.home.com. don't forget to put in your password in the home panel with your name

I have had the worst Mail service from @home.. Constantly down, and mail coming in weeks after..
