Dear TB Users
I have an irritating problem that I can't get to the bottom of.
I know this is somewhat OT but is does concern my usage of TB.
Feel free to respond via e-mail if you like, rather than clog up
the mailing list.
In my office I have three networked PCs, I connect to the
internet using a 3COM Lanmodem which allows all three machines to
share my single dialup connection. We can't get broadband, more's
the pity.
I use TB plus Mailwasher.
Both program show the same fault, viz. whilst connecting to my
ISP to collect e-mail the connection will be suddenly 'dropped'
although the call is still active and I can still 'surf'. Usually
just trying again to collect the e-mail works fine, but sometimes
it takes two or three attempts
This is a typical TB report from the log
!03/03/2004, 15:38:52: FETCH - Connection to host broken (last commands sent
were: "DELE 1", "RETR 3")
And Mailwasher usually reports "Connection reset by peer" or
"Socket Error"
Both programs work fine using a standard modem so I suspect the
problem lies on my internal network, but I'm no network Guru and
I've got fed up of 'playing'. Unfortunately 3COM support can't
seem to help. (They have tried)
Anyone got any thoughts?
