Doesn't work in Win98.

Thanks. The ping command does give me the IP number. I can ping it, I
can also telnet into the pop server at port 110 access it. Normal
user/pass dialog, and RETR 1 shows me the first message: so the pop
server is OK!
But still, TB does not pick up messages from the pop server. It is
forever Connecting to Server... since TB doesn't time out any more, it
will be Connecting to Server for hours until I Delete Task.
I cannot blame it on the server; and Kimo also say they haven't had
any complaints about problems with pop checks today. I cannnot blame
it on TB, as I receive messages from other pop servers. I cannot blame
it on the ISP through which I connect to the internet, as I have the
same situation in the office (ISDN connection via LAN), at home (cable
connection via another ISP) and my dial-up (another ISP again).
I have no more ideas where to look.
