At work I am unable to find the server on any internet email service that I have tried (gmail, yahoo, hotmail, paradise). I used to be able to do this on my Ubuntu Gutsy setup on a different machine and a staff machine using Ubuntu is ok, but when I started using a Dell tower machine with identical configuration to my old IBM (as far as I know) I lost internet email but nothing else. My work email and internet are fine.
<br>My Microsoft work support team are puzzled and can't help.<br>Does anyone know what strange magic an internet email system can produce to stop a particular machine?<br>The work site protocols do not block it and as far as I know I have all systems on that might stop me in my computer.
<br>I cannot ping these sites.<br>It sounds to me like a rights and access issue, but what rights and access?<br><br>Cheers<br>
