router can't access e-mails or newsgroups on OE

I've just installed a Belkin wireless router and all the things are
going
fine. I can access websites and update things from the Internet using
Firefox and IE6. However, I can't seem to receive any e-mails from my
ISPs
e-mail accounts. I can receive e-mail for another account (Gmail) but
nothing else.

I could easily receive e-mails when I had my ADSL modem installed until
I
installed my router.

I get a error message saying this
The server responded with an error. Account: 'pop.tiscali.co.uk',
Server:
'pop.tiscali.co.uk', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR AVG POP3
Proxy
Server: Cannot connect to the mail server!', Port: 110, Secure(SSL):
No,
Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC90

I've already done unchecking the "Always connect this account using..."
as
been advised to do so what else could I do? Do you stay with the same
options or do you need to change them?

Also I can't seem to download any headers in the newsgroup

I don't know this router but it sounds as if you are blocking the ports of
mail and newsgroups.119 /25 /110

Looks like you're running AVG anti-virus, which has a POP3 proxy that's having
trouble with the POP3 connection. Check the documentation.

(No need to post this twice.)

Use telnet: telnet pop.tiscali.co.uk 110
and similar commands for your SMTP (port 25) & NNTP (port 119) servers. If
you don't get a welcome message from each, then your router is (probably)
explicitly blocking them.

while to get any replies so moved to Google groups
