I imagine for all you computer savvy peeps out there this question is simple,
Every time i try to send a email in outlook express i get this error code

An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'pop.tds.net', Server:
'smtp.tds.net', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 Service not available',
Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC69

I use dialup at my house, but wireless at my parents house (which is where i
am now, i didn't know if that had something to do with it.) Please help

Is tds.net your parents' ISP/mail provider?
If not, that's your problem. You aren't allowed to send mail through their
SMTP server.

http://www.insideoe.com/problems/errors.htm#550relay
"This error message is coming from the mail server, not from OE itself. It
means that the SMTP (outgoing) mail server did not recognize you as an
authorized user and so rejected your message. Most ISPs configure their SMTP
servers to recognize only those whose IP address is on the accepted list,
meaning that you are connected directly to that ISP. If you use multiple
ISPs, you are likely to encounter this problem. The solution is to change
the SMTP server for that mail account under Tools| Accounts| account name
Properties| Servers.

Another possible reason for this error is anti-virus software that
configures OE to use a local proxy for the SMTP server. Since scanning
e-mail is not necessary to protect your computer, you should disable the
e-mail scan in your anti-virus product, and then re-enter the correct name
for your SMTP server."

The clue is in "my house/parents house".
You use one ISP, they use a different one.
It's a Relaying error.

Hi Roxi,

As has been said, but to clarify, when at your parent's home configure your
mail account to use the SMTP (Outgoing) server provided by your parent's
ISP. Change it back (if necessary) to the normal server when you return to
your home. Another option would be to use Web mail, if provided by your ISP,
to access your e-mail when away (for sending and receiving).
