SMTP sending error 0x800ccc0f

[Guest]

Outlook2000/Windows XP.
I can receive tho not send even test emails. I have the latest SPs/updates. I
have also tried OE6 and even Netscape7(which seems to send but mails never
arrive) with the same results. I have tried several diagnostic packages.
One, a spam blocker, did not locate the smtp info.
I have checked with my ISP and I can send emails from my mailzone server. My
settings seem to be correct and there are no extraneous boxes ticked. Could
this be a registry problem? I previous had Office XP on the system. It became
corrupted. I uninstalled it and I replaced it with Office2000 Premium.
If I reinstall Windows what would I lose?

Before doing something as drastic as reloading Windows, see if the
troubleshooting steps in this article help:

I will try the troubleshooting. In the interim, here is a log I created by
editing the Registry.
Microsoft Internet Messaging API 6.00.2900.2180 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)

I have now tried all the troubleshooting w/o any progress. I have disabled my
firewall, even completely unistalled Nortonsystemworks 2005, un/re-installed
my internet mail accts, etc. I am a home/office used, no network, dial-up
modem, NTL connection, Onetel ISP, no proxy servers, really nothing fancy,
yet I cannot send a email and am quickly losing my mind.
thx
