Hi All

I have no personal firewall and the Windows firewall is disabled.

I have used the yahoo account via Outlook from another PC on my network for some months without issue, and it still works from that PC without problems.

I can access other pop3 mailboxes from my laptop, but not the yahoo one. I can't ping, tracert or telnet into pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk from my laptop (by either name or IP address), but I can do all of these from my other PC.

My other PC connects to my Netgear router via a cable, my laptop connects via wireless. I have a Windows 2003 Server which runs a DNS server. It provides DNS for my local domain and passes everything else to the router.

I point my laptop at the Windows 2003 server for DNS and at my router for the gateway. Router is DHCP server. If I point the laptop at the router for DNS I can access ping pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk, so I think its a local network issue, possibly related to the DNS server on the Windows 2003 Server. However, I can't understand why I no problem from my desktop PC, but can't access pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk from my laptop.

Thanks.

Problem solved - I'm a dummy!

I forgot that I had Peerguardian running and it was blocking pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk. Unblocked and everything is working fine.

Thanks for your help.
