I have two Windows XP Pro machines on a peer-to-peer network. Both are
running Office XP. Both require a system reboot to send or receive Outlook
2002 POP3 email.
Internet connection is via Cable modem & wireless router.
I've reset the network, replaced the router, repaired the Office XP
installations, swapped out one machine with a loaner machine also running
WinXP Pro and Office XP. Loaner machine (with fresh install) also requires
reboot to send or receive email. Windows & Office patches are all up-to-date.
I've tried with & without firewall.
I haven't tried disabling MS Startup items (msconfig) yet. I will tomorrow.
I can go for several hours with no emails. When I reboot, the emails come
in promptly. It might receive emails for several minutes and then no more
emails until the system is rebooted.
Both machines are set forfile & print setting. Another identical system on
the network is not experiencing any problem. All macihines have two NICs,
one wired, one wireless. Wireless is for internet connection, wired is for
peer-to-peer network (access shared files, network printer).
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm prepared to backup, flatten and
reload one machine over the weekend to resolve the problem.
