Default Help please with Agent and DSL

Eric,
I agree with Mark regarding the news server. My ISP limits my
direct access to news such that I can only access it through my
connection with them, i.e. it's not portable.
Could you be more specific regarding "can't post"? What does it do?
Is there an error message placed in the Agent error log? If there is,
then send the message to your ISP and let them help fix it.
It could be that your direct news access (non-Google) is somehow
restricted to ONLY your dial-up.
Good luck.

To all you Agent users:
I just got DSL last friday. I am using full Agent. Since changing I
can recieve e-mail and download messages from newsgroups but can't
post. I am sending this message from home with a dial up connection. I
followed the directions in the help file to get Agent to work with
DSL.


Should you be using a different news server? Many ISPs control posting (and
often reading) access to their news servers by IP address to limit
free-loaders and possible liability.
