Hi Rick, yes I have checked the settings in DUN, I know all the settings for
my ISP and I will double/triple check those again. It is POP mail.
You asked if I get any message onscreen when I attempt to connect to the
net. Yes, I do. When I am apparently connected to my ISP, with IE6 open if I
click on any hot link, the progress bar at the bottom tries to move very
slowly and if I let it continue it eventually gives me the message that the
"page cannot be displayed". It doesn't matter what page/site I try to go to.
I tried using my ftp program which uses a different port, which I didn't
know until Troth told me so :) and it won't work either. It
gives the message:
WINSOCK.DLL: Microsoft wsock32.dll, ver2.2, 32bit of Apr 28 1998, at
19:33:24.
WS_FTP Pro 6.60 2000.09.20, Copyright © 1992-2000 Ipswitch, Inc.

! Failed "createsocket": - Blocking operation in progress
! Connection failed ftp1.ipswitch.com
! Can't get "ftp.ipswitch.com" host entry
! Connection failed ftp.ipswitch.com
I don't know what the "blocking operation in progress means.
BTW, I have dumped my TIF (temporary internet files) also as well as my
Windows/Temp files.
And just so you know, when I try to access my email (OE6) it gives me a
message:
"The host 'pop1.trib.com' could not be found. Please verify that you have
entered the server name correctly. Account: 'The Mail Room', Server:
'pop1.trib.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error:
11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D
I also use Mail Washer (which is such a great program that I paid the man
for it!) and it says "No such host. Ensure that the POP3 server is correct."
You also asked if I had tried my ISP's Help Desk. If that means the same
thing as their tech support, then yes. We spent a delightful 2 hours going
over things to no avail.
Thanks for trying to help, Rick,
USA-Sylvia
