Hello all. Read the previous posts regarding this issue. Similar but
different here. Have a laptop that has been working fine for some time.
This
has happened before and I had to reformat and reinstall. I get the
following
message when attempting to get/send mail. Task pop-server receiving
reported
error(0x80040900) The server name you entered cannot be found on the
network..... Trouble is, this is on an office network. The laptop is
using a
wireless card, while the other computers are hardwired. The wireless is
the
only one not working correctly right now. If I hardwire the laptop, it
works.
The wireless connection works as I can use explorer to get to the
internet.
Any suggestions? Thanks for your knowledge and assistance
