can't send/recieve after outlook 2003 Update

[Guest]

I did the office update as suggested in Windows Update, and added the .NET
Framework thing that another program needed. Follwing this, I can't
send/recieve in Outlook 2003. It finds the servers, but says that the server
does not respond, when I do the Test Settings check in Outlook. All my
settings are correct, but the test fails. Anyone have any suggestions?

Type of account?
What is the exact error in the send/receive dialog?
Does it work in Outlook Safe Mode?

Aha! I found the problem - something had turned off Outlook's access to the
internet in my firewall program.
