Outlook 2003 0x800CCC13 Error

I am running Windows XP and Outlook 2003.  I have a number of email accounts being imported into my Outlook including a POP/SMTP account from gmail (google) and HTTP accounts from MSN.

With the current POP and HTTP accounts, I am able to send and recieve emails along with emails with attachments with no issue.  I realize the HTTP accout are just synchronizing with my MSN.

I have recently updated my MSN accounts to be POP/SMTP accounts as well.   I have been able to set all the settings such that I can send and receive emails without any issues on my MSN accounts.  I can also receive emails with attachments.  However, I can NOT send out emails with an attachment on my MSN accounts.  I can still send emails out with attachments on my gmail account.  The outlook error message I get is:

Task 'shooterXX@msn.com - Sending' reported error (0x800CCC13): 'Unable to connect to the network.  Check your network connection or modem.'  

My modem and network are obviously working and I can send emails with no attachments without any problem and I can still send email with attachments with my gmail account.

Can anyone provide what is holding this up?  I contacted my local ISP (Qwest) who handles the MSN and there statement was that is was a Microsoft Problem in that Outlook is not syncronizing corrected with a "socket" issue.

I believe I am using the same SMTP server of my ISP.  I know I have to use the port 995 for MSN for incoming mail, and I left the default of 25 for the outgoing.  My ISP is Qwest/MSN.  Is this what you were inquiring about?
Yup, will have to do some more checking to see what I can find.... did the links glenn posted help any?
Actually, after further trouble shooting (like in hours) I figured out is was my Mcafee Virus Scan software was creating the problem.  I uninstalled and did a complete reinstall and so far it appeared to be what was causing the pain.

For now I consider this closed.  Thanks for everyones help.
shooter,
Thanks, I'm glad you got it working.
Cheers,
