It tells us you PC can resolve the name and seems to be able to reach the POP server .. in which case normally one would conclude one of:
1) there's no POP server running on the target machine
2) their firewall is blocking connection attempts to the POP server
3) you have a firewall on your PC which is blocking outbound connection attempts to their POP server
4) you have a firewall blocking the response
5) any other reason I can't think of
(4) is extremely unlikely of the rest it's hard to say .. 'fraid right now I'm a bit stumped, not sure what
greencreeper was looking for in that ipconfig output, my knowledge of that is limited but I don't see anything amiss.
