After I got back from my race weekend I restarted the computer and began replying to emails but they don't go out. I can receive just fine.
Contacted my ISP and they recommended a virus scan, so I updated Norton and did a full scan - nothing found. One comment that made sense was regarding viruses contained in zip files, which I just got one from a friend with pictures from the weekend. Unfortunately I don't have an unzipper installed.
I get an error message that says "connection to the server failed" but incoming messages are fine.
What do I do next?

First, make sure you have Outlook configured right.
Second, find the name of the POP server and the SMTP server that your provider gave you to configure your email system.

Should be POP.DOMAINNAME.NET
and SMTP.DOMAINNAME.NET

Go to the start>Run> type in command
Now at the prompt type ping pop.domainname.net
and ping smtp.domainname.net

If you get a response from both...post back here
