error 1172

[agyna]

Hi,

I am having the attached error. I have a labview module trying to send an email with gmail. It works fine when I am home using my local wireless network.

Now I am in a public library, and connected to the public network. And when the program is running I am getting that error.

I am guessing that windows 7 is using the public settings which blocks access thru port 587 I guess, not sure.

Any help?

It sounds like their Firewall may be blocking it.

Any idea what exactly to fix?

I would say talk to the IT person at the library, but I don't know how self-contious you are about uncontroled laughter at your expense.  My suggestion would be, don't run it at the library.  Is this for school?

Is there away in labview to check is port 587 is open or alowed or usable before sending my email? This way, I will be sure that I will not get this error if that port is locked....

You could use the TCP/IP functions to open a connection on that port. If the Open function returns an error then you know that port is not open.

You could check the port using the TCP/IP functions as Smercurio has suggested or you could handle the error if it does occur.

Thanks.

This is what I am trying to do to check the port connection using localhost, but it I am receiving an error.

I am just home so everything should work fine.

Some help needed.
