Hi,

 I am working in a project of the UFMG (University of Minas Gerais).
(www.dcc.ufmg.br)
 You can send me your how-to?

>
> fixme:winsock:convert_sockopt Unknown IPPROTO_TCP optname 0x8
> err:winsock:WS_setsockopt Invalid level (6) or optname (8)

> This only happens if this server is available. If I give a resolvable
> but non reachable server name in the connection dialog of outlook, I
> also get the console output but Outlook seems to try for a long time to
> get a connection and then gives up with the same error message as above.
