Are you referring to posts that never appear on the Comcast newsserver or
the MS newsserver? (You must mean the former, else you wouldn't be replying
to this thread.)

Are you sending the posts using Comcast's newsserver?

What newsgroups are invovled here?

Thanks PAB,
the posts never appear. Right after I try To post I try to Refresh, but it
doesn't show and never arrives.

Newsgroup posts are archived for a minimum of 90 days on the MS
newsserver. I'd assume newsgroups carried on Comcast's newsserver have a
much shorter archival period (e.g., 24 hours).

If your posts show up using the MS newsserver but not the Comcast
newsserver, chances are they've been deleted on the latter already.

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
