Suddenly, I cannot connect through either Outlook 98 or IE4.01 to the internet (running Win 95B). When I try to send and receive mail through OL98, the modem dials and connects, and then gives the messages "The SMTP server name you specified cannot be found. Please check the name and try again [with a box displaying the smtp name allowing me to change it and click 'OK']" Same for the POP server name. When I try to connect via IE4.01, I get a "Navigation cancelled" screen for my home page and the error message "An internal error occurred in the Windows Internet extensions." Problem: the SMTP, POP, DNS etc. settings are all correct. I have removed and reentered the info both for the DUN connection to my ISP and for the Internet E-mail service using my ISP -- no joy. ISP operator reports no problems at their end. Is there something in the registry or elsewhere I can tweak rather than doing a full uninstall/reinstall of IE 4.01 and Outlook98? Because I am off the Web (I am sending this via Hyperterminal and my shell account), I cannot access the Knowledge Base, so the list's help would be much appreciated!!
