  • Check with your registrar and make sure that the domain name hasn’t expired.
  • Make sure that your email inbox and/or domain didn’t exceed its quota.

  2. Make sure your Anti-Virus and/or Windows firewall are not blocking you from sending/receiving email
  3. Go to your DOS prompt and issue the following command: ipconfig /flushdns
  4. Run Windows Disk Defragmenter and wait until it is completed.
  5. Power off, wait for a few seconds, and then power on your PC.
  6. Turn off any firewall you might have on your own PC, including Norton and McAfee.
