No Outlook Express on wireless - Talk Root - PC Hardware, Software and Web Development forums

Merry Xmas everyone.
Thanks to Santa, I just got a wireless router to share a cable internet connection. It works really well, for the net, but my O.E.6.0 email does not work. It is trying to connect thru my LAN connection. Is this correct?

Thanks Nathan

You'll need to expand on "O.E.6.0 email does not work", Nathan.

What happens when you try? Error messages?

See http://support.shaw.ca/customercare/config5.htm or check with Shaw.ca
Tech Support for the correct account settings, Nathan. Note that Secure
Password Authentication should not be checked and that Account name field
should display the Email username (whatever appears before @shaw.ca in your
email address), not 'shawmail'.

Hi there.

A few more details. I only started using the wireless router this afternoon. untill then I was plugged directly into the modem. After setting up the wireless router, I did not change any settings in O.E. When I watch the sequence of lights on my monitor,
it appears as though the router (smc7004vwbr) and the wireleess USB Network adapter(Linksys wusb11) communicate together, but are unable to access the internet. O.E then comes up with an error message. The error message happens a lot faster than it did wh
en I was connected directly to the modem. When I was connected directly to the modem and had a problem O.E. would say "connecting for about 5 secs before giving an error. Now it says "connecting" for barely 1 sec.
I checked Shaw's website O.E steup page and everything looks O.K., including user name.
I do not think that O.E is able to connect to the internet through the wireless router.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Nathan

I am replying this email with OE which is the default newsgroup client for
me and it is using wireless LAN.

First, make sure you have set up your wireless LAN correctly. That means
you have no problem using other applications, such as IE or ping or any
other to access Internet. And try, if you have Outlook, to see if it can
send and receive emails.

If you have no problem with the Internet connection. Check connection
settings of your OE. For me, I unclicked everything in all those boxes.

I set my kids comp to wireless. I am going thru a wired router AND a wireless. When I went into OE 6 on my admin account, it asked me to reset it up. I did and no problems.
I had also removed my wired Lan card due to space.
Try removing your Lan card or disabling.

Hi All

I have now taken out my Lan card. I have uninstalled the wireless network card, and the router and let XP find new hardware, and every time my Internet explorer will work great, but O.E. always gives the same error. I have checked the O.E "tools" connecti
on, and all looks Ok. This computer is about to take a short trip thru my window.

Thanks Nathan

Tell Outlook Express to use "any available connection"

I tried that and it still didnt work

>> Error Number: 0x800CCC0Dt

Was that a typo, Nathan? Is it 0x800CCC0D (i.e., without the final ' t ' )?

Disable email scanning of outgoing and incoming mail. It provides no
additional protection and even Symantec (NAV) says it's not necessary:

Error 0x800ccc0d or 0x800ccc0f When Receiving and Sending E-Mail

Sorry, yes the "t" was a typo. I have tried with my firewall disabled and norton e-mail scan disabled, but its still giving the same error.
If I go back to my direct connect through the network card/cable modem Then its Ok.

Just for kicks, I configured O.E. to check on my e-mail from work (telusplanet.net dial-up) and it worked Ok, and brought in my usual dose of Spam. So, The problem must be with Shawmail, but I cannot figure out what is different bettween my wireless conne
ction and the direct connect network/modem connection. Any Ideas??
Regards Nathan

12-26-2003, 07:58 PM

With the network/modem in place, can you successfully telnet to the shawmail
server(s)? See http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_san...pop3telnet.htm

It would be *immensely* helpful if you included the previous message in all
of your replies, Nathan.
