Outlook 2000 and error 'Unable to connect to to server Error:0x800CCC0E'

[eljainc]

Hello,

I am having a problem with one PC that has Outlook 2000 installed.
When outlook is
running in the background the dialog box will pop up with the error:

Unable to connect to server. Error 0x800CCC0E

I have verified that all of the pop3/smtp server settings are correct.
I have tried to rebuild the outlook.pst file. This is not the
problem. Also, I've deleted the profile and re-entered it from
scratch.

What could be causing this error and what is the remedy?

Thanks.
Mike

Is Outlook 2000 installed in Corporate/Workgroup mode or Internet Mail Only
mode? What version of Windows?

It is on Windows XP Professional SP2. It is installed for an Internet
Mail only setup.

Have you checked your router's interface for blocked ports? Change the SMTP
port to 587 to see if that helps.
