328069 2005-02-25 06:21:00 Just wondering if anybody out there has been able to set up the free avg email scanner with there d-link adsl modem.. Ive rang my isp, searched the avg forums, and still no joy setting it up. has anyone here done so?? G-Boy (6793)
328070 2005-02-25 06:33:00 yep done it on several what's difficult about it ???? drcspy (146)
328071 2005-02-25 06:36:00 What happens when you try? The email scanner sets up a proxy for your email client but from AVG to your ISP should be as normal. PaulD (232)
328072 2005-02-25 06:39:00 the newest version of avgfree v7.0 by default is set to use the lan to scan emails and that's how it should be........ drcspy (146)
328073 2005-02-25 10:06:00 the newest version of avgfree v7.0 by default is set to use the lan to scan emails and that's how it should be........

If i go to my avg 7 Email Scanner "properties" and in the "network connection" i can select only "Lan" or "Dial up" if i select lan the scanner does not scan the emails, if i select dial up i get

The server responded with an error. Account: 'pop3.xtra.co.nz', Server: 'pop3.xtra.co.nz', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR AVG POP3 Proxy Server: Cannot connect to the mail server!', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC90

it always used to work untill i got this broardband modem insalled. I think its trying to connect through my internal dial up modem i still have connected,

328075 2005-02-25 17:13:00 'cannot connect to mail server' doesn't sound llike a problem with avg it sound's like you havent changed the settings in the mail program so that it also uses the lan to connect not your dial up .........try disabling avg (right clik the systm tray icon then 'quit avg control center' then try to send yourself an email........if it doesn't work then it sure aint avg that's the problem.......goto emailprog/tools/accounts/mail/properties/connection and make sure it's set to use the lan .......... drcspy (146)
328076 2005-02-25 17:15:00 also in the same place under the 'servers' tab that 'log on using secure password authentiction' is NOT ticked.......... drcspy (146)
328077 2005-02-25 18:52:00 just possible you may be barking up the wrong tree perhaps (talking from my own experience with this particular problem). If you are running a firewall you MAY need to set your pop3 acct (example: pop3.xtra.xo.nz or whatever) in the firewall as a 'trusted site'. Had no end of hair tearing before I came across this one. |llus|oN (645)

No because if i disable the avg email scanner my email works fine. :)
