Second Email Account Problem
 

Hi

This week ive been trying to set up an additional ntl email account. I got it set up ok but the problem is, once I enter the pop and smtp details into outlook express it tries to contact the server but gets a time out message.I though maybe it was in relation to firewall etc but Ive disavled these and still no joy.

This is an email account for my dad and Ive set it up on his computer which is on a home network

When I use these settings on my main computer which has my main email address it connects fine and receives and sends mails.

Can any one shed any light on this?

Hiya, welcome to cableforum!

What ISP does your dad use?

Thanks

Well I have ntl bb so i use ics so that his pc can connect using my broadband so he really doesnt have an isp as such.

Hi Richard,

Whoops, sorry it took so long to get back to you - hope you read this :)

When I say ISP I mean which domain is your dad on - is it NTLworld.com or something like freeserve.co.uk or something else?

what is the error message that you are getting in Outlook when you send and receive?

there should be a code at the end in the form 0x800ccc ...something

and :welcome: to the site :)
