hi,
up til about a week ago I was able to post ok to newsgroups using OE6 and
newsroups.comcast.net.
Now my attempts at posting to any of the NGs via Comcast.net do not show up
in the NGs. I see them In OE Sent Items oK and I don't get any error
messages but not on the NG itself. Experimenting I found that my posts DO
get through on the news.microsoft.com server as this post is.
I've checked the settings in OE Tools/Accts/ news and all appear OK.
Logically, since my posts are OK in Microsoft's news server, but not in
Comcast's news server, it seems it should follow that my computer is OK as
is my typing finger and my OE and the culprit would seem to be the Comcast
server. I Just spent a fabulous half hour with Comcast support and got
nowhere. They have referred it up to their advanced department and gave me a
reference number.
In the hope that im might ring a bell with someone on this NG I thought I'd
give it a try.
Using Windows XP, News NNTP 119.
One possible (?) clue:
In OE Tools/ Accounts/ News, where in the "connection" column for the MS
server(which works) it says "Local Area Network" and in the connection
column for Comcast it says "any available".
Thanks for any help.
I'm subscribed to thirty NG's visa Comcast and I'm able to access them OK
and they are current. Just can't post in them
