smtp.idnet.com not responding

[ChrisB]

Hello,

Is anyone else having a problem with smtp.idnet.com timing out?

Outlook reports:

Sending' reported error (0x8004210B) : 'The operation timed out waiting for a response from the sending (SMTP) server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

No problem with incoming email.

Thanks,

Chris

I just sent a test email, it's working fine for me Chris

Thanks for the check Glenn - I'll dig a little deeper into my system.

Have you changed any settings recently, Chris?

It's fine here, Chris. Did this happen just after opening Outlook?

[ChrisB]

As with lots of MS problems, a reboot cured the problem.

I'd sent emails prior to the problem occurring and I'd not closed Outlook - just one of those odd Windows issues.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Windows is naturally odd, Chris.

It keeps me in a job

So that's why...
