Since changing to broadband through a livebox I have been unable to receive my e-mails through Outlook as it will not connect. I used to connect to broadband through a modem and it worked fine then. Does anyone know what connection settings I need to change in order for it to work or even if it will? Any help would be gratefully received.

what error is it thowing up?
Have you changed your provider?
Has your account details changed if you are with the same provider?
Could it be the "Livebox" has a different smtp and PoP server address?"Well, that sounds like a pretty good deal. But I think I got a better one. How about I give you the finger, and you give me my phone call"

It'll be trying to fire up the dial up connection. Go to Control Panel, Internet Options, Connections and make sure "Never dial a connection" is ticked. Next go into Outlook, check the account and if there's a tab for the connection to use, select LAN.0 -
Many Thanks for the replies. It is now working again:T I had the connection set incorrectly in Outlook, it was set to connect to broadband instead of LAN
