Outlook Express Won't Connect

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

Last night my e-mail wouldn't work because the pop.server
was not connected. Tonight when I logged on, it
mysteriously connected and is working fine. However, my
daughter's is not working. I talked with RoadRunner, who
tried a few things and told me it is a configuration
problem, and to call Microsoft. Here is the error
message:

The host 'SMTP' could not be found. Please verify that
you have entered the server name correctly.
Account: 'POP3', Server: 'SMTP', Protocol: SMTP, Port:
25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number:
0x800CCC0D

Can you tell me how to fix this configuration? Thank
you.
