There isn't any such thing as a 'rec.woodworking server' as referenced in the
title of your post. That's not how UseNet works; rather, every group is
propagated to a very large number of servers. No group -- at least no group in
the "Big Eight" hierarchy -- is hosted by a single server.

If you're not seeing any articles, then look to your own newsserver, or to
your client.


Right on Doug! When a newsgroup server is specified in your
newsreader, that is the server to suspect. Usually, the server is the
Internet Server Provider (ie, AT&T, Comcast, etc) server, but not
always. If you can not access posts in rec.woodworking, wait and try
again in a couple hours, then call technical support. Not typical
but there can be more than one server and it may not be related to
your ISP.
