sending and receiving mail

I have a new laptop with Vista and travelling in Brazil. My home desktop has
Windows XP with Outlook. I'm trying to communicate with it, but error keeps
coming up. "The connection to the server has failed...........socket
error:10060
Error number:0x8000". What does this all mean. Please help, I'm
technologically semi-literate.
Thanx.

Joe.

RE: sending and receiving mail

Brazil may not have XP so you may need to piggy bank thought a different
server.

Re: sending and receiving mail

You say "I'm trying to communicate with it." Did you mean the
laptop or your desktop?
You have given us only a small part of the error message; we
will need to see it verbatim. Right-click on it, copy, then paste
it into a reply here.
