Getting an error in outlook express when connecting to POP servers of my isp.

An Unknown TCP/IP error occurred 0x800CCC40

This error seems to relate to Winsock.

Have reset the tcp/ip stack using the netsh int ip reset command and also
reset the winsock and winsock 2 registry entries using winsockxpfix

Anyone any other ideas?

The full text of the error message would be helpful. That includes the
server name, server type, port number, socket error code, SSL, etc. For
best results, copy/paste the error message rather than retyping it. You
should be able to highlight the message text in the error window (hold
down the left mouse button while dragging the mouse over the text).
Then press Ctrl-C (hold down the Ctrl key while pressing the C key) to
copy the highlighted text to the Windows clipboard. You can then paste
that text into the problem description using the Ctrl-V key combination.

If you have your anti-virus set to scan e-mail as it downloads, or an
anti-spam program, either of those could be causing the problem. This
could also be your firewall incorrectly blocking Outlook Express or the
mail ports (typically 110 for receiving and 25 for sending).

An unknown TCP/IP error occurred. Account: 'andrewtorex PIPEX', Server:
'pop.xxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error
Number: 0x800CCC40

Error as above.

Firewall software disabled. Password/account details are okay as logged onto
webmail okay through isp website.

Outlook doesnt appear to be binded to TCP properly.

The error above comes up instantly when clicking send/receive. Doesnt even
attempt to look for server.

0x800CCC40 WINSOCK_WSASYSNOTREADY Network subsystem is unusable.

Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP2)?

Is this a sudden, new problem or an ongoing one? Can you send from this
account? Has this account ever worked in OE?

Are you having connection problems with Internet Explorer as well?

How do you connect (e.g., dial-up, DSL, cable, satellite)? Is a router
involved?

Windows xp SP2

Sudden problem. Cant send or receive from any accounts within OE.

Accounts have worked previously. Actually cleared all accounts and reset up
just one pop acccount for now to test.

All other internet appllications working fine.

Connect through dsl modem. no firewall enabled

Email account details correct. Webmail works fine.

Seems OE is not binded to the tcp protocol as instantly the minute you click
send receive. no info is transmitted via any tcp port.(run a tcp port monitor)

Reinstalled tcp/ip, and reinstated winsock.

Still nothing.

Start Run (type in) CMD [OK]

In the Command window, carefully type the following:

netsh winsock reset

Hit [ENTER], close the Command window and reboot the machine.

General OE Caveats:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual
compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

- WinXP SP2 only: Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown
your machine if Automatic Compacting is taking place.

- WinXP SP2 only: If your machine is fully up-to-date at Windows Update,
installing the following patch (KB918766) will help to avoid such data loss
in the futu
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...2-98af2256ccc3

This patch will be included in the next Cumulative Update for Outlook
Express/WinXP SP2.

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

I regularly get this on one of my accounts. Go to Tools, then Accounts. Select the account and click Properties, then Server . You will find that the server has changed to 127.0.1. Change this to your POP3 server eg poptiscali.co.uk, then click Apply. This should clear it. If anybody has any idea why this should keep changing, I'd be glad to hear it.

I'm guessing you changed the server name in the error message since
'pop.xxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.com' is not a valid server name. There's no
reason to mask a server name when posting error messages since there is
nothing sensitive about it. And having the correct server name helps
use diagnose problems.

Try using Telnet to access the POP3 mail server. If that fails with a
similar error, then the problem isn't in OE.
You can find these Telnet instructions at

Hope somone comes up with an answer for ya. I have the identical problem. I
think I might have spiked something with HijackThis chasing a virus. I have
two computers sitting side by side with identical OE setups. Works great on
one, just like yours on the other with, of course, the exception that it
refers to my ISPs.
