Task ‘Stingo - Sending and Receiving’ reported error (0x800CCC0F) : ‘The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).’
I am using Outlook 2002 on XP with XP firewall and Avast Home 6.4
I cannot send or receive mail to the stingo.co.za domain, but can to other domains.
I’ve checked, re-checked and checked again that the details are correct.
I’ve searched on the Microsoft Knowlegde Base and followed their suggestions (disable firewall and av etc)
I’ve reinstalled Outlook
I’ve tried to get send and receive to work in Outlook Express
I’ve cursed Bill Gates in Swahili
I’ve deleted all outgoing mail - incase there was a corrupt mail
I’ve searched these forums
I’ve logged into webmail successfully (so I know my username and password is correct)
I’ve spent an hour on the phone listening to my ISP saying “Nooooo problem at our end.” Words fail me.
I’ve tried to work out how Telnet works and don’t know if it’s me that is useless or if it’s just that Telnet cannot connect to my mailbox
It was all working nicely until about Thursday last week and had been working nicely for ages, then nothing, nada, zilch, rein, fekall, nulla…
There must be something I haven’t done. Please state the obvious, before I toss my laptop into the sea; just to check if it floats, you understand?
If you Google the keyword 0x800CCC0F I’m sure you’ll find something.
But, you’ve wrote that you cannot send or receive mail only for stingo.co.za domain. Seems that it’s a domain problem and not in your computer of with avast…
So there I was, about to do a laptop flotation test. I was also about to commit myself to communicating by quill and tablet for the rest of my life. I was going to donate my blank CD’s to Charities-R-Us. I was about to give my 5.1/4 inch floppy drive to a museum, and out of the ether, an email arrives from my ISP, via an excruciatingly slow web mail. It said: I’ve had this back it looks like the reg company has changed the name servers…
Well wasn’t that nice of them? Perhaps a little notice may have been in order, along with a note saying what they were going to change their dns too.
I still cannot send and receive, but at least I can point a finger at some unknown reg company. May their profits soar and their shareholders choke on champagne and caviar.
Swimming naked, mid-Atlantic would be more fun, especially the bit where I have to get used to a squadron of great white sharks seeing my marriage tackle dangling in the tide.
