tech question: network problem <<SOLVED>>

Ok, Here is the case.

I have two computers networked through a server with two eathernet cards running ICS and FW on XP SP1. The other computer is running winME. All other network connectivity i.e. file/print sharing, msn, internet ect. works except email usign outlook express. I have checked to makes sure that server adresses and network settings are complete and correct but Nothing will get that computer to check its email! I'm almost 100% it has something to do with the XP ICS but i havn't a clue what.

Im using rogers and i can't ask them for help because they don't support home networking and i've already posted this in another tech forum but no one replied! TA IS MY LAST HOPE!

Anyone with any ideas? I will love you forever!

Cheers
Daniel

If you have pirate copy of WinXP and MS Office XP and you apply WinXP SP1 YOU SCREWED.

In order to fix it uninstall winXP SP1

your friends computer should also be upgraded to XP coz XP & Me dont mix i just had the other day the same kinda question, it could be firewall...did you install firewall? if you did then check your setting for it. Me edition is lacks network abilities which XP has, so that could be a problem..
btw if you have a pirate copy then your SP1 wudn't work coz what it does before you install it, it scans your Win #, if its copied or not..if its copied it wont let you install it.

This is all garbage, I've done exactly that and have never had a single problem. The only known issue with WinXP SP1 is one single pirate key - i.e. if you install SP1 and you used this pirate key, it either won't install or won't boot. I just changed my key and I was fine.

But in any case, what server address are you using on the computer that won't connect to e-mail? If it's something like just "pop", try "pop.ym.phub.net.cable.rogers.com". Same with the smtp server. I hear this problem a lot from people behind routers, and 99% of the time this solves it.

1. Junk the Outlook Express...
2. What Diginut said...that should work...
The DNS alias 'pop' probably isn't being translated properly to the full DNS path 'pop.ym.phub.net.cable.rogers.com'

Let us know if it worked!

The verison he is reffering to is know as "the Devil's Own" Release to those of us that are familiar with the underground . This verion of XP was a pre-release of the final Windows XP pro version. But this verion of Windows is a beta anyway and was not 100%. If You install the SP1 Patch on it your windows will not crash nor malfuncion. It will simply inform u that you have used a "blacklisted key" and that your Windows will continue to operate but cease to download windows updates in the future.

There is another Pirate verion of Windows XP that already has the SP1 preinstaled with a different key than the "devil's own" version. You can load this one on top of the "devils own". There is also this process of changing your existing cd key and then loading the official SP1 on it.

Xp firewall is a bitch.Man, the thing won't let you do jack shit.I couldn't even f-serve on mirc.Anyways,its also recommended that networking computers should be running the same OS.doesn't always have to but its recommended.

I read an article about that..

there is a way to setup mirc to use dcc, which is essentailly fserving. I can look for it if you want me to...

There's always a way of changing your XP serial number into a "legal" one, and installing SP1 on it... but hey, let's keep that a secret from Microsoft.

rofl fserving is for n000000bs :P
