"Outlook Express" Why POP address changes automatically to wireless router address?

Question

On a single user wireless network, everytime the computer is started up or re-booted, the "POP.provider.com" address changes to 127.0.0.1.

The e-mail works only if the provider's pop address is present as the incoming mail (POP3) and not when the router is listed as the POP3 address.

I have come accross 2 users with that problem lately. They keep presently re-entering the pop address at every start or re-boot

Any advise will be appreciated.
Thank you
Joseph

Answer 1

Most of the Outlook Express error messages are due to problems with the internet connection, not the software on your computer.

Answer 2

That's strange. Maybe you have some kind of spyware or virus problem that keeps hijacking your POP address. Funny, 127.0.0.1 is the IP for your localhost.

I'd get the latest spyware and virus updates and delete excess junk you've downloaded like IE extensions and excess toolbars.
