title: SMTP ASP.NET Winsock Connectivity
body: <p>ASP.Net 1.1, 2.0 and 4.0 cannot send emails. But when I use classic ASP it can send emails.
  Telnet can also send emails.</p>
  
  <p>Windows Server Standard (2007)</p>
  
  <p>I receive this error:</p>
  
  <p>The message could not be sent to the SMTP server. The transport error code was 0x800ccc14. The server response was not available</p>
  
  <p>I know this is a winsock issue and this issue happens once in a while and we perform a reboot and everything is okay.</p>
  
  <p>What I want to know is what causes this and can I prevent this or stop rebooting every single time?</p>
