Title: Connection Problem Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Connection Problem * Resolved [rcain8](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rcain8/) * (@rcain8) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/connection-problem-2/) * I have been running postie for over a year will little to no problems. Last night my website on Arvixe crashed and they switched servers. Now postie will no longer connect. When I click on TEST it just sits there trying to connect with nothing happening. I have contacted Arvixe and they have assured me that port 195 is open and said it must be my ISP, Firewall or Router. Obviously the timing of the problem points to Arvixe but I am a total nob when it comes to this stuff. Please help! * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/postie/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/postie/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/connection-problem-2/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/connection-problem-2/page/2/?output_format=md) * Thread Starter [rcain8](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rcain8/) * (@rcain8) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/connection-problem-2/#post-3589302) * Oops… I meant port 995. * Plugin Author [Wayne Allen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wayneallen-1/) * (@wayneallen-1) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/connection-problem-2/#post-3589320) * It sure sounds like the port or IP is being blocked. Can you try another email account with different settings? Does your Arvixe account come with an email account? * Thread Starter [rcain8](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rcain8/) * (@rcain8) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/connection-problem-2/#post-3589324) * Yes, it seems like the port is being blocked. * I tried a different gmail account and a yahoo account with no luck. * I did get the Arvixe account to work on port 110 but I got 20 posts of the same email! * I have contacted my ISP.
