Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Mail / May 2008Unable to connect to server."
Error Message: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Unable to connect to server." Configiguration: Account:news.telkomsa.net Protocol: NNTP Port: 119 Secure(SSL):0 Code:800ccc0e ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating System: Windows Vista Business Edition eMail/News Reader program: Windows Mail Internet connection: Via dial-up modem. Antivirus Program: Problem: reading eMail messages - ! Reading/connecting to Newsgroups/servers I find connecting to servers come up with above error message. However, after trying for a few minutes, it finally does connect and newsgroup messages download fine. This condition is prevalent now for past 7 days. This is unusual since I had no problem connecting to news servers before. I have not installed any new programs for more than 30 days. Please help. email address: groengtrs@telkomsa.net > Error Message: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > Please help. > email address: groengtrs@telkomsa.net Looks like time to ask telkomsa.net if their newsgroups server is having problems, such as being overloaded. Also, if you are running without any antivirus program, you may have a virus that is causing problems. Also, have you ever had a Norton or McAfee antivirus program installed on that computer, even one of the free trial versions that often come already installed on new computers? Their uninstall programs often fail to remove the parts that cause problems in Windows Mail. A recent version of the Trend antivirus program also causes problems in Windows Mail, so don't use it as a replacement. We can recommend replacements that are free for home users and don't cause problems in Windows Mail. Thanks for info. I am running NORTON Antivirus preinstalled on my system and updated current. Will talk to telkoms support re. overloaded servers. I've also tried Antispyware Doctor to check for spyware.. Was found to be clean. BE HAPPY > > Error Message: > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > replacements that are free for home users and don't cause problems > in Windows Mail. You're welcome. Most versions of the Norton antivirus program eventually cause problems in Windows Mail, so be prepared to come back here. > Thanks for info. > I am running NORTON Antivirus preinstalled on my system and updated [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] >> replacements that are free for home users and don't cause problems >> in Windows Mail. |
