I'm sharing the internet through a Linksys router. Using Windows 98 SE I can connect to the Internet fine using Internet Explorer but when connecting using OE it works fine the first time I connect. Mail is downloaded and any outgoing mail is sent. Trying to send or receive any new messages again it hangs up and can't connect. Even closing OE then trying to running it again it tells me that another instants of OE is running. When I shutdown Windows it tells me I still have one task running, OE. I stopped Norton 2003 antivirus from scanning the mail and and shut down firewalls as I posted before. Is OE 6 corrupted or is this a Network problem? Thanks in advance.
