Re: [OT] RapidHoster Woes

["Tim Fletcher" <timfletcher@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry to be a pain in the donkey, but I can't pop my mailboxes hosted by RH
and can't get to their homepagepage either.  Everything else seems to work
OK (BBC, EBAY etc.) I am mystified.  I know network savvy is very high on
this list, so I thought I'd give it a punt.

My POP3 mailboxes fail with

Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

I can't even ping it, a tracert yielded this...
