I'm having the same problem with one of my email accounts, my primary sends

If i connect my laptop by an ethernet cord then it will send, but it wont on
a wireless network.
 
To avoid confusion, please begin a new thread about your specific problems.
State your IE version and full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP2)
in your first post.

Looks like you are running into a port 25 block. When you got that error
message, was your Internet connection being obtained from Frontier?
If not, what you experienced is normal. As a general rule, the owner of
the SMTP server you are using must be the same as the entity providing
your Internet connection at that moment. For more on this see

Let us know if you are using a laptop away from home.
 
MrCornDog, problems are seldom similar enough to be treated in the
same thread started by someone else. Please start your own thread,
and include a complete copy of any error message.
 
Well, that explains why you are having this problem.
The available workarounds when sending away from home are as follows:

1. Use webmail for sending (via your browser).
2. Ask your home ISP if they have a port other than '25' for SMTP.
3. If you use the same away-from-home connection frequently,
substitute the SMTP server belonging to that connection. This is a bit
tricky, but if you want to go that route, I can provide more details.
4. If you frequently send from multiple locations, get a free Gmail account,
configure it for POP access, set it up in Windows Mail, and use that for
your sending chores. Gmail uses port 465 for SMTP, which is not blocked
like port 25 is.
 
I don't recognize that error message.
Right-click on your error message, copy, then paste it into a reply here.
We can't do much troubleshooting without the complete error message.
