Troubleshooting Outlook Express Errors 0x800CCC0D and 0x008CCC0E
Every once in a while, Outlook has an error such as “Can’t find host – cannot Locate Server” or “Failed to Connect – Cannot Connect to Server”, error codes 0x800CCC0D and 0x008CCC0E. I found the notes below and thought posting it would be a great way to store the info in case I need it in the future.
I found this very helpful link for troubleshooting those errors and other Outlook errors such as Client Response Invalid.
Some other tips:
- If outgoing port 25 is being blocked, try setting the port to 587.
- To clear cache and flush DNS, go to DOS command prompt and enter ‘ipconfig/flushdns’
- Try Control Panel > Network Connections > Local Area Connections. Right-click and choose Repair
Starting Outlook in SafeMode – Tools > Options > Other > Advanced – Add-in manager, clear checkboxes; restart Outlook
