Outlook Express Drops Server Connection

[Riker41]

Normal bootup then starting OE is normal. Charter.net is my ISP.
After a while I get the following message:
The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'mail.charter.net',
Server: 'pop.charter.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket
Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Closing out of OE and restarting OE does not help. It requires a complete
reboot to get it working. This all started about a week ago but I made no
changes to OE or the computer.

Anyone have a suggestion how to repair this problem?
Thanks.

For Outlook Express support, you'll want to ask in the
microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general newsgroup.

Since you're also using the web based newsreader rather than outlook
express, you might want to use
http://www.microsoft.com/communitie...px?dg=microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general
(or, since you're using Outlook Express for mail, look at the steps in
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/community/columns/newsgroups101.mspx for
how to set up OE to use the microsoft newsgroup server).
