Lycos Mail Problems

**S-10MASTER** · 10-22-2009, 03:02 AM

Ok well I have some very important emails that I have been trying to get to over the last week and a half. When I type in the mail.lycos web address or even lycos web address it says "Network Timeout" and "The server at mail.lycos.com is taking too long to respond." I have set all my settings on my firewalls and stuff and I cannot figure out what is going on here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I didn't think anyone used them anymore. Maybe that was just wishful thinking. Anyway, I just tried it from my phone, and didn't have any problems. What firewall settings did you set? Have you checked with your ISP to make sure they aren't blocking lycos or webmail for some reason?

I still use them. lol Rarely but I do. I just allowed lycos. I dont know shit else about setting firewall settings. But I checked with my ISP just now and they said they havent blocked it.

Try this.. open a command prompt and then type in..

ipconfig /flushdns

See if that helps.
