I am having a problem with this exercise. this is my error that i got after I requested SignUp.aspx

An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.



PS. Refer to Chapter 9 I don't have any error with it. I use yahoo account. and this is my mail configuration if web.config file

<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="[email protected]">
<network enableSsl="true" host="smtp.mail.yahoo.com" password="myPassword" userName="[email protected]" port="465" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>

Hi there,

The error you get is usually caused by incorrect information about the server, SSL settings or port number....But if Chapter 9 works fine, something else must be going on. Can you post the code for the page you're working on? Are you sure it's using the same config file information?


Cheers,

Imar
