Hey!

I'm having a wird problem and unsolvable problem:

I click "send and receive" and i get just a error message. "The
operation failed." I don't know how to fix it. I'm using PcAnywhere
to conect. It worked a fed days ago, I left th software open to check
mail for me. Yesterday when I clicked send and receive i got the
above message.

What should I do? The troubleshooter does not contain this message

Thanks,
Ionut

Go to your Date applet in Control Panel and correct your date and
possibly your timezone. You say that you are using PC Anywhere but that
doesn't mean anything since that is not an NNTP (network news transfer
protocol) client. It is remote access software. So fix the date on
your source host or fix the date on your target host. Since you posted
using Outlook Express 5.5, presumably you are using PC Anywhere from
your "home" host to connect to your "target" host and OE is ran as the
NNTP client on the target host to post your message to the newsgroup.
You can obviously set the date, time, and timezone on your home host.
Does PC Anywhere not allow using the Date applet on the target host to
correct its date, time, and timezone? Is your target host running a
time-sync utility (and sync'ing to some other host that is out-of-sync)?

Oops, this is about posting e-mail, not newsgroup messages. In any
case, your time needs to be somewhat close to whatever is the time for
the SMTP server you are using to send your outbound e-mails. I notice
your posts in this newsgroup are dated 1 day ahead of the respondents,
and obviously respondents cannot answer your question before you ask it.
So you need to change your your computer's date (whether it is for you
home or target host in PC Anywhere) to today's date, not tomorrow's
date.
