Mail can't connect to my SMTP mail server

Mail 3 is having problems connecting to my email servers after upgrading from Tiger. I have double checked the settings with the service provider settings on their sites and still have problems.
I used Network Utility and that seems to be able to Ping to both SMTP servers. Why is Mail having such a problem?
I even tried deleting my Accounts and starting them from scratch, without any luck.

I have tried several times to fix both my Comcast and 1and1.com email accounts, and neither work. I tried changing the Server port to match the settings both companies say to use in their instructions for Mac's Mail program. Is there something different about Mail 3.0 that is causing so many problems with both accounts?
Comcast says to use Server port 587 with SSL checked on and Password authentication.
smtp.comcast.net still isn't working, even though I get these results from Network Utility's Ping:
Ping has started ...

Hi there I am having trouble with my outlook express this is the first time it has happened it keeps telling me can't connect to the SMTP server and every password I have tried is incorrect this is for 'iCloud' very frustrating as all our phones are ok

Well I am feeling a bit silly now because that was all I had to do. In the past Workgroup Manager had always opened right up to the list of my users, I never even thought to click on that but apparently that was all that was needed.
I still am not sure how the iChat Server preferences changed themselves on me, but it is not the first time I have had weird "settings" issues with our Snow Leopard Server.
Thanks!

Can't connect to the modem's server.

Hi guys, I have a major problem.
When ever I connect to the internet with my modem, it works. But, when I connect to internet with my router and modem, I can't connect. But I have solved my problem by resetting both, my wireless router and modem. Then after I reconfigure my wireless router all I need to do is to log into my modem's server. But I can't connect to the modem's server. I tired logging in with "admin" (being the password) but I still can't connect to it.
I am using: Verizon Broadband Network
                 Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router model: WRT160N
                 Westell modem model 6100
What is the problem? Has anyone experienced this problem before?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

You will not be able to log into the modem as long as the router is plugged in
You must configure the modem first to bridge mode,then plug in the router and log into it
   1.)unplug router and have only the modem in
       go to 192.168.1.1 enter
      that will take you into the verizon modem/ if you have reset the modem then your user is; admin
                                                                                                                     your password is ; password
     once you lopg into that it will ask you to change the username/password
      just type in ADMIN in all 3 blanks
now you are logged into the modem;;;;;;go to network at the top,then network connections on the left,broadband connection ,you will then put your protocol on bridge/routed bridge,
now go to wireless settings at the top and make sure wireless is turned on
you have the option to set up a security key on basic security settings
once your modem resets then plug in your router,you are now in bridge mode and the modems connection has moved to your router. you must restart modem and computer for everything to take effect....
also make sure and refresh your network list on your laptop
Hope this works

Can I connect my application to mssql server

Can I connect my application to mssql server ?

nioe wrote:
Something more specific, my search on Google does not appear something abuot mssql
Perhaps you could help the process along by being a little more specific. Is this an in-house application. Will it ever leave your local network? Or does it need to run over the internet? Regardless, the best option will likely be some type of REST web service that any client can use.

Can't connect to the window application server.

I have installed the Sun Secure Global Desktop Software 4.2,
the client can connect to the unix application server but can't connect to the window applicaiont server.
What can i do?
Thank you.

Hi.
Are you sure you're using a Windows server which support Terminal Services? In other words, try (on the Windows server) by escaping to the CMD prompt and issue the
netstat -n
command as to see if port 3389 is listed in LISTEN state.
Best,

How can SQLDeveloper connect to 10g DB on server but UI cannot

How can SQLDeveloper connect to 10g DB on server but the User Interface on local laptop cannot? What does the UI need that SQL Developer doesn't need?

What kind of UI are you talking about?
SQL Developer can use different type of connection method to connect to Oracle database.
For example, basic method of SQL Developer is JDBC Thin connection, in which case, SQL Developer will use JDBC driver that come with it, don't need any other thing installed.
SQL Developer also can use TNS method which will require Oracle client installed and TNS names configured.

Can't connect to the Software Update server (lionserver.t3m.private)? Please help!

Has anyone experienced this; Can't connect to the Software Update server (lionserver.t3m.private)?
I can no longer sync my iPhone as it needs an iTunes update. When I select update software and I get the error message above.

If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try an OTA (over the air update)
Change DNS Servers
Settings -> Wi-Fi
Click the blue arrow on your connected network
Delete everything in DNS and replace it with 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Try again
If this works, you will probably want to remove the WiFi network using "Forget This Network" and then reconnect to it to get your original DNS servers back. Alternatively, make a note of the original DNS servers before deleting them and replace it after you are done.
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try through iTunes
On your Mac
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Network.
Select the network connection service you want to use (such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, unless you named it something else) from the list, and then click Advanced.
Click DNS, and then click Add at the bottom of the DNS Servers list. Enter the IPv4 address for the DNS server.

Outlook 2010/2013 clients, outside of our main office, can't connect to our Exchange 2010 server

Hi,
Our remote users had been connecting to our Exchange server at our office since the Exchange server was installed in 2011.
Starting last Wednesday, Outlook 2010/2013 clients, outside of our main office, can't connect to our Exchange 2010 server. Outlook kept asking for a username and a password. At the same time, entries of Event 4625 were generated on the Event
log on out Exchange server.
Events 4625 has the following properties, "Logon Type: 3", "Failure Reason: An Error occured during Logon.", "Status: 0xc000006d", "Logon Process: NtLmSsp", and "Authentication Package: NTLM".
By the way, I had used a laptop to test this problem. Its Outlook work fine ion the main office, but it won't work outside of our office.
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks.
Johnnie :(

Safari can't connect to the web proxy server (HTTP)

Hello,
I have following problem. I need to connect to the internet using a proxy server. I went to System Preferences/Network/Wi-Fi/Advanced.../Proxies. Then, I selected Web Proxy (HTTP) and enetered server's IP address and port. It looks like I did everything correctly, but Safary can't open any page because "Safari can't connect to the web proxy server (HTTP)". Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

There are three possibilities:
1. You entered the wrong address and port number for the proxy.
2. You entered the wrong user name and password, if applicable.
3. The proxy doesn't work or is incompatible.

Can't connect you the X11 window server

Hi all!
I am having problems eom to show reports in the BEA with Crystal Reports.
I use BEA WEBLOGIC PLATAFORM 8,1 for Linux with Crystal Reports XI.
I configured server BEA to initiate as a service in my Linux SUSE, and therefore I do not use myself in the graphical way.
However when I try to visualize some report of crystal JSP page, I receive the following error:
<code>
Can't connect you the X11 window server using ':0.0 ' the value of the variable DISPLAY
</code>
With the reports me this error only occurs, therefore I have you vary webservices and paginas that function perfectly.
Already I read some topics of the forum related with this problem, but no similar to mine or that it decided my problem
Somebody could help me?
Obs:I am brasilian and my English no is good!
Sorry!

Hi Vitor,
May be this will help
1) Setting the DISPLAY variable using script or in cell by issuing,
setenv DISPLAY=<machine name>:0.0
or
export DISPLAY=<machine name>:0.0
where <machine name> is the IP or name of the machine that has a graphics server process running, like X11.
If you migrate your aplication to a different server, maybe the fonts put on the /fonts directory won't work fine...
Sample:
setenv DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 export DISPLAY
results in setting this variable for only that script process or for the cell with the local scope.
Use the xhost + command to make this variable to global scope with above.
The link has many workarounds

Suddenly can't connect to gmail SMTP for outbound mail

I have both a MacBook Air and an IMac. Recently, I lost the ability on both machines to send outbound mail. With Apple Care help on my supported machine (the MacBook Air,) we rebuilt my gmail mail account on that machine and was able to reconnect and send outbound mail. (receiving mail was never a problem)
However, going through all of the same steps on the IMac, it keeps saying :"Gmail (offline) next to Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) on the account information screen. When I run Connection Doctor, I have a red light next to Gmail SMTP with the message "Trying to log into this SMTP account failed. Verify that the username and password are correct."
Well, the username and password are correct. I just changed them, and can access Gmail from all of my other devices...MacBook Air, iPhone, IPad.
What is really odd it that is was working until about 3 weeks ago.
Any suggestions/ideas? I'm not particularly technical...just find this very frustrating and don't know where to turn.

No bad form to worry about, just the reduced attention to your problem that a solved designation causes.
If I remove my gmail account, I'll be able to get all the emails back when I create my new one - because it's imap?
Yes, but check 2 things,
1. That it is setup as Imap (POP is possible but is not the default) and 2 that you have not created any local folders that house mail from the Imap account, if you did then you must export them before removing the account.
What do you mean by verify both passwords? You mean imap and smtp?
I assume I should be using the application specific password in my mail settings?
Thanks,
Bob
Imap and SMTP should be the same, but check.

Can't connect to my work exchange server 2003

I am one of the only people in my office with a Mac and my IT dept. refuses to assist me. Therefore, I am forced to try to resolve issues myself (which is not working out).
I have successfully sent mail through the company's outgoing mail server, but I cannot connect to the incoming mail server to receive my messages.
On a side note: I have entourage 2004 running successfully with no problems other than the program is crippled compared to outlook on windows. I want to run Apple's Mail program but can't get working, and I'm sick of running Outlook through Parallels.
To configure Outlook and Entourage all I need to put in is the exchange server path (and login info) and it configures the rest. So how do I know what the outgoing and incoming paths are for Apple Mail? Are they the same? I right now I have both the incoming and the outgoing set up with the same exchange server paths hwmxmsg05.hotels.ad.**.com.
Any Ideas? Another post mentioned make sure certain things are configured on the server side? What would they be as I need to relay them to someone who knows.
Thanks!!!
24" iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I feel your pain. I also am a lone Mac user in an entire building full of PC robots, and the IT people haven't got a clue.
I've been trying to get Mac mail working with the Exchange server here, but it's just not happening. I've managed to get Entourage working though, which is far from ideal but significantly better than the web-based version of Outlook that I'd been having to use up till now.
For entourage, then yes - the incoming and outgoing servers are the same. You may need to ask your recalcitrant IT people which port numbers to use, but give it a whirl anyway.
Best of luck,

Can't connect to external MS SQL server

I have two primaries and an external db. The two primaries were updated from 11.2.3 to 11.3. Everything is working great and the upgrade was successful.
My database runs on an external MS SQL server. It hosts both the zcm database and the audit database.
When I installed ZRS 5 I pointed it at one of my primaries. The install says it was successful and it appears to have successful pulled in my configuration for both zcm and zcm_audit to /opt/novell/zenworks-reporting/conf/zrs-configuration.xml.
I can log in to ZRS 5. When I try to create a report or run an existing report from the library I always get a connection error. It definitely looks like it can not connect to my external MS SQL db. I cranked all of the logging under Server Settings to DEBUG but I can not seem to find the logs.
I also tried following the Cool Solution using the downloaded zip and pointed it at my external db. It would not connect either. I know the username and password is correct and I tried the username in different styles: username@server, server\username, username. The only thing I can think of is my sql password for both of my users contains an extended character ! and =.
Any help as to where to look or what might be the issue is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

I'm not sure, but I may recall hearing that it requires SQL Server Auth
Credentials.
Again I'm only about 51% sure here.

How can i connect windows(laptop) to lion server?

Hi..
We in our company use mac's as clients. We use Mac OSx 10.7 lion server. We have a lenovo laptop for general purpose. Now can we connect that laptop in network. So that can we remotely use mac screen sharing.

Are you asking how to connect to FileSharing from the PC ?
Or are you asking about screensharing?
On Server
If file sharing, edit the SharePoint and make sure that
Windows File Sharing (SMB) is enabled
On the PC:
Map a network drive
\\10.0.0.1\Share
(your IP and the share name)
Make sure you check the box to use another account or user/password
It will then ask you to enter a password.
In general, the above should work.
There are some cases where it requires a few other tricks.
Good Luck

Drive 2.1 can not connect to our cs3 versioncue server what do I need to use our projects in CS5?

Mac XServe is our CS3 server. Trying to upgrade to CS5 and found out Version Cue is no longer. Read and found the Drive 2.0. It can't seem to connect to my current server. We still have access with one of our CS3 machines. Is there a program I need to get to continue on with our versioning and the ability to use our projects we have? Or do I need to go into every project and export or something to be able to start using CS5? Thank you in advance for any help!!!

Hitting the Log Out button in the MobileMe panel worked. I can now connect to both the SnowLeopard and Lion servers just like I used to.
My condition appears to have been slightly different from yours, gmia - the MobileMe on my MBP had the correct info, but hose are not the credentials i use to remote to the two servers. I'm guessing that for some reason ScreenSharing began using my MobileMe credentials instead of what I had saved in the keychains.
Wonder if it had anything to do with the shutdown of the MM servers. That would be odd as using ones apple ID to log into a Mac remotely was new with Lion, and I had the same problem with our SnowLeopard server - which I remote into much more frequently.
Probably didn't hurt though to reboot the entire network...
