Intermitent connection problem to ONLY ONE of many email servers...HELPaddresses. (Maybe during password authentication???) Using XP Home Edition with all of the current updates.... I have multiple email addresses and a number of these addresses connecting to one server (one domain???) in particular (mail.adelphia.net) have been giving me regular (but not constant) time-out errors. The other email addresses connecting to other servers (domain, if that's the correct way to describe it ???) connect quickly and almost never time out. (IE: pop.gmail.com) I downloaded PingPlotter....repeated testing of this email server (mail.adelphia.net) shows no problem with any hops. Is there a way to ping a specific email address or account????? On Thu, 21 Sep 2006 13:04:20 -0400, phil6666 <phil6***@adelphia.net> wrote:

If you've verified the basic network connection with this email server (mail.adelphia.net), and it's solid (and used pop.gmail.com as a baseline), then there is probably a problem with the server itself. That may be an issue for the owners of the server to address. Have you reported this to Adelphia? -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience. My email is AT DOT actual address pchuck mvps org. Everything appears fine on my end.
I was hoping for some add'l proof that it might be Adelphia....they are almost always into total denial that they might have a problem....last I asked, they told me to get ready to reformat my HD!!!

Any chance that you could borrow a computer? Reformat it, and see if the problems occur on a second computer, and at the same time as on this computer? It's vaguely possible that your problem could be related to software running on your computer. Can you restart the computer, and run it reading only email, and only from mail.adelphia.net, until the problem reoccurs? Maybe run Autoruns and Process Explorer, to know what is running on your computer? <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/04/watching-what-your-computer-is-doing.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/04/watching-what-your-computer-is-doing.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
