New Dialup Subscriber problems with OE outgoing server

OK, bear with me, I'm not computer savvy. I just subscribed to MSN dialup
and am trying to setup my OE work account. On my outgoing server, I have
entered smtp.email.msn.com and the little window pops up to enter my MSN ID
and password and when I hit enter, the window keeps popping up. I have
triple checked that my info is entered correctly but it still happens. Do I
have my server info correct? Can anyone help me? My work email account is
mail.linkserver.com and I had no problems accessing it with Earthlink. What
am I doing wrong!?

here is the error message that I get:

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Account: 'mail.linkserver.com', Server: 'smtp.email.msn.com',
Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

To send from your unt] address, you'll have to use
mail.linkserver.com as the outgoin or SMTP server, Janet.
