Default Outlook blocks internet

the account is for a pop3 from the ISP.

the error is simply the first tick /check when testing the new account
during the account set up part...in the window with username and password,
pop3 server address and smtp etc., it just cannot establish an internet
connection when I am already online. It works in Express ok as I said earlier
so I know it's nothing to do with the account information.
