 Note that it may be worth **reserving** a specific IP address for your VPOP3 PC in your router's settings, or choosing an IP address outside the router's DHCP 'address pool' and manually configuring the VPOP3 computer with that address (make sure it is still in the same 'network address range' as the router, or it won't work). Note that it may be worth **reserving** a specific IP address for your VPOP3 PC in your router's settings, or choosing an IP address outside the router's DHCP 'address pool' and manually configuring the VPOP3 computer with that address (make sure it is still in the same 'network address range' as the router, or it won't work).

-Sometimes the router may allocate a whole new network range to your computer.

 If the IP address of the VPOP3 computer was previously set manually, and you have installed a new router, the old manual address may conflict with the DHCP pool of the new router, or may be in a different network range.
