Unable to establish TLS connection to POP3 server

I've tried to reset my Outgoing Server to STARTTLS as suggested in one of your help pages so I can send from either of my 3 accounts with the appropriate outgoing server SMPT
However now I can't get any messages and even when I reset to the original setting I'm still getting no emails.
Feel like I've totally stuffed up, but none of your help pages suggestions seem to solve my dilemma.
Would appreciate some guidance on how to go from here.
Thanks
Frank

''re: send from either of my 3 accounts with the appropriate outgoing server SMPT''
noticed: All of your mail accounts are only using one smtp server.
Suggest you try:
'''account1:'''
INCOMING: account1, , (pop3) pop.googlemail.com:110, plain,
For incoming and outgoing server:
user name: Your full Gmail address (e.g. [email protected])
Gmail SMTP password: Your Gmail password
Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the pop gmail account
Incoming Server Name: pop.gmail.com
port: 995
Connection Security: SSL/TLS
Authentication Method: Normal Password
Tools > Account Settings > Ougoing Server (SMTP)
select the pop gmail server and click on 'Edit'
or
if no pop gmail server then click on 'Add'
Under Description type: Pop gmail
Outgoing Server Name: smtp.gmail.com
port: 465
Connection Security: SSL/TLS
OR
port (TLS): 587
Connection Security: STARTTLS
Authentication Method: Normal Password
click on OK to save changes.
Then assign correct outgoing smtp server to the account:
Tools > Account Settings
select the pop gmail account
bottom right 'outgoing Server(SMTP)
click on drop down list and select the pop gmail smtp server.
click on Ok to save settings
'''account7:'''
INCOMING: account7, , (imap) imap.googlemail.com:143,

Incoming Server Name: imap.gmail.com
port: 993
Connection Security: SSL/TLS
Authentication Method: Normal Password
Tools > Account Settings > Ougoing Server (SMTP)
select the imap gmail server and click on 'Edit'
or
if no imap gmail server then click on 'Add'
Under Description type: Imap gmail
Outgoing Server Name: smtp.gmail.com
port: 465
Connection Security: SSL/TLS
OR

click on drop down list and select the imap gmail smtp server.
click on Ok to save settings
''' account3:'''
INCOMING: account3, , (pop3) mail.internode.on.net:110,
http://www.internode.on.net/support/guides/email/secure_email/
Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the pop internode account

select the pop internode server and click on 'Edit'
or
if no pop internode server then click on 'Add'
Under Description type: Pop Internode
Outgoing Server Name: mail.internode.on.net

I am able to connect to the internet using internet explorer, but when I try to connect through mozilla firefox it says 'it is unable to establish a connection to the server." why?

I can establish internet connection through internet explorer using a router at my house, but whenever I attempt to connect using firefox, it says it is unable to connect.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Could not establish TLS connection on port 7001 - "unable to get local issuer certificate"

tvcs: Event="Outbound TLS Negotiation Error" Service="SIP" Src-ip="10.0.7.168" Src-port="29127" Dst-ip="<Public IP>" Dst-port="7001" Detail="unable to get local issuer certificate" Protocol="TLS" Common-name="ewe.<domainname>.com" Level="1" UTCTime="2014-11-12 12:48:20,071" 2014-11-12T15:48:05+03:00
Getting above error on Expressway-C server while establishing TLS connection with Expressway-E in DMZ. I have enabled static NAT on Expressway-E and give the Public IP on peer address of Expressway-C. At that time, i was getting DNS resolution error on Expressway-C so we added a host record on local DNS for Public IP. Later, I created CSR from both Expressway C & E server and ask local microsoft team to issue Local CA certificates. After uploading, i was getting above error (Failed to establish TLS). Also i have uploaded company (wilcard) Public certificates (issued from Geotrust) and we are getting the samer error and Expressway server could not establish TLS connection on port 7001. Firewall connections are done and i double checked it.
Expressway ver 8.2

Yes, Exp-C > Peer Address (FQDN of Exp-E)
Certificate of Exp-E -> When generating CSR from Exp-E, automatically FQDN (Exp-E(hostname).domainname.com) will be shown. Then this CSR will be send to local CA or Public CA to generate a certificate. OR you meant to say in Exp-E CSR we need to add FQDN of Exp-C server also in alternative name and vice versa too.
Yes, root certificates & intermediate certificates are uploaded to trusted CA.

"Unable to establish a connection between WebEx and the mail server."

Hi,
I installed Cisco WebEx and integrated with our Microsoft exchange server. It showed server "UP". everything's came up and working fine after that and sudenlly i found this message "Unable to establish a connection with the mail server. Please recheck settings."
I went into the Mail Server setup to edit settings and now, it shows Server Down. Do I need to do something on the MS Exchange 2010 or from webex server ??
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Every 180 seconds, CWMS verifies the connection to the SMTP server by establishing a connection on TCP port 25 (SMTP) and then sending the EHLO command followed by the QUIT command. This check is also performed once when logging into the admin web page or when browsing to System -> Servers (where the status of the mail server is displayed).
If this sequence does not complete successfully, the warning “Unable to establish a connection with the mail server. Please recheck settings.” will show in a banner at the top of the CWMS admin pages.
You can verify the connection to the SMTP server manually by using “telnet 25”.
If you have access to the CWMS unix shell be aware that CWMS does not come with the telnet command installed.
As an alternative, you can use this 3-lines script:
exec 3<>/dev/tcp/x.x.x.x/25
echo -e "EHLO\r\nQUIT\r\n " >&3
cat <&3
Replace x.x.x.x by the ip address or hostname of the SMTP server and save the script in a file, f.e.:
/* script saved in a file named ehlo */
[root@dchriste-cwms-adm1 ~]# cat ./ehlo
exec 3<>/dev/tcp/10.48.54.79/25
echo -e "EHLO\r\nQUIT\r\n " >&3
cat <&3
Then, execute it:
[root@dchriste-cwms-adm1 ~]# sh ./ehlo
The output should be similar to this:
220 *******************************************************************************************************************

Also, you can use this tcpdump command to see the conversation (replace x.x.x.x by the SMTP server’s IP address or hostname):
tcpdump -vXs 0 host x.x.x.x and tcp port 25
If you have HA, it is not certain which admin VM talks to the smtp server, so best to check both.
If you don't have access to the CWMS unix shell, best to span the switch ports and run packet capture.

Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 'URL of the site' why does this appear in all browser??

I have used these sites
-www.facebook.com
-www.dubbedonline.tv/ and some others for a long time but few weeks ago i couldn't access them anymore and this appeared :
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.facebook.com.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
i have also tried many ways to access them but none of the solution worked, one of them was checking troubleshooting problems and it detected that the remote device won't accept the connection, so, how can i fix this?

You can check the connection settings.

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

Whenever I go to webpages there are a few that come up with: "Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server.."? What do I do?

Whenever I go to some websites there are a few that come up with: "Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server.." and the problem occurs with the same websites on other browsers. What might be the problem?

If you get the same problems with two browsers, the problem is
outside of them. Check you computer for blocking programs.

After an update, Firefox is now unable to establish a connection with server.

After an update, attempting to use Firefox results in the following error:
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at en-us.start3.mozilla.com.
This error message appeared after uninstalling and re-installing Mozilla Firefox. Initially the the connection couldn't be made at google.com
Firefox will not open at all now.

In SQL server you can configure it how to communicate with clients (Shared Memory, Named Pipes, TCP/IP).
When the application is on the same computer with SQL server Local Named Pipes or Shared Memory are used.
When is on other computer TCP/IP or Named Pipes are used to communicate with the server.
Check these options and enable the appropriate.

Windows performed an automatic update. I am now unable to use Firefox. I receive an error message "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server". Windows IE works, Outlook works. What did Microsoft do to me this time?!!!

Windows performed an automatic update on my PC this morning. Now, Firefox does not work other than in SAFE mode. I get "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server..."

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy" if the default "Use the system proxy settings" setting doesn't work.

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server.

Dear all,
I know that this topic may be a bit old school; but it really make me mad as I tried all solutions i found and it still cant be resolved....please give a hand...
The situation is like this,my company divided different platform as a status of project, like DEV, SIT and UAT. I got a project that require me to upgrade an vs2003 project to vs2005. I upgraded it completely and
successfully, it works fine in development and UAT platform; EXCEPT, the SIT platform.
The situation is very strange that, once I move the source to SIT, it return the following error:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
(provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
but it never happen in either DEV or UAT platform and even do I copy the workable web.config from DEV or UAT platform to SIT, the error still here and unable to resolve it.
I search a lot in the internet by Google, but solution suggested are not suitable or fail in my case. Most answer suggest that "enable remote control", "check fire wall", "check server" etc......But as I can connect well the
DBServer in DEV and UAT properly, I dont think those are the cause(but still, I check them all, and all are enabled properly, except my firewall setting is OFF, so adding port is ignored).
After all the searching and testing, I believed and have reason to believe that, the cause is inside my web.config:
<appSettings>


<clear/>
<add key="Environment" value="UAT v1.31"/>
<add key="DBServer" value="DB_UAT"/>
<add key="cnBPSS.ConnectionString" value="data source=DB_UAT\BPSS;persist security info=True;user id=theloginid;workstation id=RP_UAT;packet size=4096;pwd=theloginpwd"/>
<add key="UTBPSSConn.ConnectionString" value="data source=DB_UAT\BPSS;persist security info=False;user id=theloginid;workstation id=RP_UAT;packet size=4096;pwd=theloginpwd"/>
<add key="UTDSBDBConn.ConnectionString" value="workstation id=RP_UAT;packet size=4096;user id=theloginid;data source=DB_UAT\DSBDB;persist security info=False;password=theloginpwd"/>
<add key="cnDSBDB.ConnectionString" value="workstation id=RP_UAT;packet size=4096;user id=theloginid;data source=DB_UAT\DSBDB;persist security info=False;password=theloginpwd"/>
<add key="Timer1.Enabled" value="True"/>
<add key="Timer1.AutoReset" value="True"/>
<add key="cnbpss.ConnectionString" value="data source=DB_UAT\BPSS;password=theloginpwd;persist security info=True;user id=theloginid;workstation id=RP_UAT;packet size=4096"/>
<add key="cnbpss1.ConnectionString" value="data source=DB_UAT\BPSS;password=theloginpwd;persist security info=True;user id=theloginid;workstation id=RP_UAT;packet size=4096"/>
</appSettings>
</configuration>
I know such kind of setting is old school; But due to this program runs for few years from tons of ppl...I dont dare to modify it unless I am very sure they are the cause.....
May I ask if anyone cna give me some advice and help in this issue please? I already tried for weeks and turning mad....Please I really need some help...
Many thanks.

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at "Every Website" but IE and Safari work just fine.

Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at google.com.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

TPINIT error Unable to establish WSH connection 0x000221150afea683

Dear All,
we have applications deployed using tuxedo. All the applications are in working condition, but one new application is deployed with same parameters of working applications but on new client application on Windows 2008 server.
This application cannot access the tuxedo server and giving following error.
152035.WEBAPP!?proc.4020.3152.0: 01-30-2013: Tuxedo Version 11.1.1.2.0 with VS2010, 64-bit

The same application is working on 32 bit 2003 server. and only changed this in 64 bit 2008 server.
My .bat file on the client is as follows. The tuxedo server is already serving all other clients except this one. Server version is tuxedo10gR3. Firewall on this client is also disabled

Dear All,
I found out why this is happening(with the Help of Oracle support), so updating it for future use.
Tuxedo uses random ports for clients that have connected to WSL listener. thats why my first error
152035.WEBAPP!?proc.4020.3152.0: LIBWSC_CAT:1064: ERROR: Unable to establish WSH connection 0x000221150afea683
was coming. this means (as per the documentations) that the WSL have accepted the connection but the next step of connecting to WSH is not done. which causes the above error.
The resolution can be 2 things.
1. Allow allow ports of Server or range of ports starting from port of WSL e.g. port WSNADDR port 7777 to 7777+2000 ports , so that clients can access the WSL port + 2000 ports
2. add a parameter on the tuxedo server ubb file to define a range of ports which can handle client requests. (most probably in the WSL CLOPT portion)
if your network has security and it only allows some ports to be accessed , u can get this error.
Thanks.
