Cant connect to Smtp or pop server
 

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

Vince,
Dont know how to ping test with Outlook, I use Road Runner as my ISP and I
can access my mail via explorer then road runner homepage, so my assumption
is that its an Outlook problem.....your thoughts? Thanks again
