You might have a LAN behind some router, but I can't know this. You might have some antivirus that scans the email. I can't know this either.

What I do know is that email server is not at your noted address.

Best of luck,

hey im having the same trouble with my pc and till today i got no solution for it, so i look for it over the web and found this forum and i didnt understand what the other guy said u, so did u get a solution for the problem? if so can u tell me what u did, i have tried updating windows, outlook, everything, i just recently bought a new antivirus; panda (i had norton but according to it no viruses were on my pc), it was great it found lots of virus(20+-), spywares, etc.
so the only thing that i can think its that some virus its being attached to my outgoings and thats why outlook does not allowed me to send the email, i downloaded incredimail and the same.

ill appreciate if u tell me what u did with ur outlook if possible answer me to the_wu_jr87@hotmail.com
if anyone knows what to do please tell me asap

Same issue.

Since you have the "same issue", my comments are the same.

-> Your email server was not at the noted address or name.

You'll have to call your ISP to get it right.

In closing, I want you to remember you claimed you had the "same issue" so this is why I note the same fix.

Check with your ISP. They may tell you the same thing that Robert is saying - an incorrect out-going mail server address. Since you didn't give much info. I have to ask - have you updated your modem driver recently? Have you begun running, or recently updated an email scanning program (AVG, etc.?)
