I have a small peer-to-peer network of three computers, and use MS
Outlook 2000 as my e-mail client. All computers are XP (SP2).
I've recently had to reinstall my setup following a system glitch on
the "host" machine. Everything is fine, except for one thing.
I can neither send nor receive e-mails from the two "remote"
machines. I can access the central address books, inboxes etc. without
any problem; just can't actually send or receive via these computers.
If I try to send or receive from the "remotes", after a few moments
searching I get "The POP3 / SMTP server name you specified cannot be
found. Please check the name and try again".
Both the POP3 and the SMTP server names are correct.
(I should say that on a couple of occasions (from one of the remotes),
a self-addressed test message has somehow got out. However, they both
bounced straight back to that machine with the following comment:
"Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.
Subject: xxx
Sent: 28/09/2006 13:36
The following recipient(s) could not be reached:
'(e-mail address removed)' on 28/09/2006 13:36
No transport provider was available for delivery to this recipient.")
********************
together with full file/folder/printer access across all three
computers.
I'm using a proxy server - because my local server has been running
slow - but that was the case before reinstallation of XP on the
"host" machine and has never been a problem.
I've sort of exhausted my own diagnostic abilities! If anyone has any
suggestions as to why this e-mailing problem from my two "remote"
machines might be happening, I'd be very grateful to hear.
Thanks in anticipation -

everything appears OK. I have full internet access from all machines,
