smitherz Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Hi all, I have searched thru several googled sites and groups to figure this one out. I have a compaq presario 2710 with a Conexant HSF winmodem. I have it working with the 5.xx beta drivers for access to website on port 80. I cannot get it to connect and download my email or upload my email via pop(110) or smtp(25). I am running a custom 2.4.25 kernel on top of a mandrake 9.2 upgrade from 9.0. I have disabled ECN to no avail and have the firewall disabled too. My netstat -an shows the connection in SYN_SENT state and it goes no further. I have tested by telneting to port 25 and 110 manually. I can load most web pages and can telnet to port 80 manually. Tnx, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmack Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 I had some wierd problems when I got my modem going too. I couldn't hit the DNS server I had setup because it was plugged into my home network and getting an IP from the router. If I unplugged from the network I could connect via modem. Since I normally run via cable modem and router setup, I didn't take time to reset the network settings, but you might check if you are having same problem. The second thing is I didn't take time to set the country settings properly and it wouldn't work right until I did. So you might check that too. Sounds like you have checked the logical things otherwise. Hope someone else has an idea if mine don't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitherz Posted February 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Well I disabled my eth0 interface and still no port 25 or 110 access. I may try to fall back to an older hsf driver with the 2.4.25 kernel. If that fails back to 2.4.19 from the mdk 9.0 install. hrmm....
