i get an error when using SMTP e-mail send

[bhattnbikes]

When i try to use SMTP mail send.vi i get an error code 1 saying TCP cannot exchage information with SMTP vi. It mentions possible reason for it is not using GPIB card. But there is no relation between GPIB and TCP. I am not able to figure out the problem. Can anyone help ??

Hello,

Error 1 is a very generic error. It means that either an input parameter is invalid or the gpib controller be the controller in charge, but not necessarily both. In the context of this problem, it is referring to an input that doesn’t appear to be correct and as you mentioned has nothing to do with GPIB. The most common problem with the SMTP Email VIs is an incorrect name to the ‘Mail Server’ input. The Mail Server is the name or IP address of the outgoing SMTP mail server you are using. The easiest way to find this information is to check with your IT department. I hope this helps. Best of luck!
