sending and receving reported error (0x800ccc0f)

[yak]

Whenever I try to send mail from outlook, I Outlook issues
an error of:
Task 'grayareaentertainment.com - sending and receiving'
reported error (0x800ccc0f): 'The connection to the server
was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your
server administrator or internet service provider (ISP).'

I am using AOL dialup to access the internet. I am
operating on Windows 98 2nd edition. I used Norton Anti
Virus, with e-mail scanning disabled. I have reentered
my account information aftger disabiling the norton anti-
virus email scanning.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I suppose you have contacted your ISP? What did they offer?

sorry if the original post was repeated, i am having some
obvious computer issues.

i contacted my ISP, they had me test the account in
outlook on another computer and it worked fine. so i know
there must be some configuration problem on this
computer. any ideas?
