Outlook Express and LAN connection

[SS]

I have Outlook Express 6.00.280 installed on Win NT 4.0 SP6 which is LAN
connected to another PC that has Internet connection (Proxy server). Email
account on my PC is POP3 for incoming mails and SMTP for outcoming. Now the
problem is that I cannot receive emails but can only send them through this
Proxy. Internet Explorer and all other applications that require Internet
connection through proxy are working OK. The only problem I have is to
receive emails. I setup the same account on another PC which has direct
connection to the Internet through dialup and no problems for both sending
and receiving emails.
This proxy server uses AnalogX freeware software called AnalogX Proxy. It
supports both ports 110 and 25 for email transfer.

Any hint how to fix it?
thanks

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97, 98, 2000 & 2002 from the Office
family for Windows PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting in one
of
these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...blic.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here:
