I have ZoneAlarm running, but normally Zone Alarm notifies me if a program from within is trying to access the internet and let's me block it or let it go. Is it possible that ZA is blocking not my request to connect to the smtp server but the server's reply?

I'm wondering if you have a firewall that won't allow you to make that connection. >>> I heeded your advice and tried setting up Outlook Express for gmail >>> server. >>> This is the message that I got: >>> The connection to the server has failed.

I'm guessing that you are being blocked somewhere. Microsoft Windows versions since 2000 (at least) have had software firewalls built into them that you can easily configure. You may also have another firewall on your network between you and google's SMTP server. If that's the case, you'll have to change the configuration of the firewall(s) to allow communication. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGJ2z19CaO5/Lv0PARAhw7AJ0eEUTkWPr0SJkAOysnoUHAWqb7FACeItA9 Z2wwl1/F8zG5/ahCnAdNIMY= =1Ll0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
