I clicked on the link you provided from IE and it opened this newsgroup in
OE. I tried to respond to the post but apparently it got blocked somewhere!
Specifically, I typed the message clicked on send and then send/receive but
nothing happened. Actually, I got confirmation that the message was sent but
when I checked in the newsgroup it was not there! Now I am typing this
message from the web interface.

My ISP is Forthnet S.A. in Greece and my connection is 128 KB/S ISDN(2
channel) dial up connection. Yeah, I know its outdatted technology but in
Greece we move kind of slow here. LOL! Also, I am accessing the web from
home so there should'nt be any hidden firewalls other than Norton Antivirus
auto-protect. I have even turned off the default Windows firewall because
Norton does just fine and I don't want any conflicts!

Regards,

Nick Magos

Find your thread ("posting problems in OE 6!") and try to reply to this
message using OE.

If no joy, reply via the web-interface and tell me what ISP you're using.
Also tell me if you're trying to post using OE from a location other than
your own home.

including microsoft.public.security!

Configuration is as follows:

News server: msnews.microsoft.com
Server timeouts: 2 minutes
Server Port Number: 119
Download x number of messages per time is unchecked
User information is filled out correctly

What next?

Hi. I am having problems posting messages to newsgroups in Outlook
Express
6 using Windows Xp Home SP2! I write the messages and click send but my
messages do not appear even after reloading or resending. I know it
normally takes around 5 minutes to upload them to the server but this is
not my case!

A few months ago I reinstalled Windows Xp Home and reinstalled all the
updates from Microsoft Update but this issue has not been resolved.
Please
help if anyone can!

Thanks,
