What can I do about this? Same thing happened when I e-mailed a
friend with a Hotmail address and a MSN address...

Dialup? DSL? ISDN? What kind of line?


The message means that your domain (the part of your email address after
the @) is being blocked and they will not accept email from you. The
message states that it has blocked an "IP", meaning only one address and
thus your specific IP. But these messages are famous for being
misleading or incomplete or used where they don't fully apply.

If your domain is blocked, then no one at your ISP can get an email to
the one that refused you.
If it's your specific IP that's blocked, then, assuming you don't have
a "static" IP number, all you have to do is acquire a new IP.
If you have a "static" IP you'd know it because you're paying extra
for it. I suspect you do not have a static IP. That only says your IP
can be changed, not that it does change at any particular time.


-- Remove power from the modem.
-- Restart
-- After the boot has completed, turn the modem back on.
-- Test it
That should refresh your IP.

If that doesn't work, you may need to use the Command Prompt and
ipconfig to renew the IP. We'll wait on that one until the above are
known to not work.
