I'm so fed up.. I need HELP.. LOL.
I have a 5 year old computer.(Gateway).. I use Windows 98.. .I have Norton System Works 2003 installed. and thats working fine. I use Netscape 7.0 for my browser, as well as for my mail. and Earthink 5.0..(they're sending me the updated Earthlink, as a "possible way to fix this".
I dont' download alot of things.. Only Adobe, and Adaware.. Thats about all.. This is my personal computer, for email. and browsing only.
I had a problem with connecting..(recently).. so the phone company - fixed the "line" and I'm connecting faster.. Using regular dial-up.. but it's faster..
BUT, before this happened.. and whats still happening is this.
I get these error messages..
"Failed to connect to POP 3 Server"
Connection timed out.. when connecting to....
The operation failed. when attempting to connect to Start Earthlink.net
Okay. so these are the 3 error messages I get VERY often.. I called Earthlink tech support last nite, cause I wasn't able to send ANY emails.. They have no clue. what is happening.. So what I did.. was do a Go Back. and I got it to work..(did a Go Back.. for about 4 hours) and everything is working.. but I still get those same error messages..(actually, the one I just got.. was "connection timed out".. Earthlink, tech support says.. this is normal.. and happens all the time.. Well, it just started about a month ago.
They said, just reboot.. or hit refresh.. or click off the connection, and re-connect..
Any ideas why this is happening,, and why all of a sudden.
Also, does anybody recommend upgrading Netscape.. to the next one..(I think there is one.. above this)???
Thanks for your help.
