My OE has been refusing to connect to my ISP's news server for uploading
messages for over a day now. Just tried a 'REPLY' to one of my old posts, and that went up ok, so now trying a 'NEW POST' here .... |:-\ Puzzled Arfa |

I think that I contribute enough to this group (and have done for enough years) to be allowed to perpetrate the odd 'transgression' of its rules without need for someone to have a pop at me. If you've nothing better to do with your time, have a go at all the real trolls and spammers ... Do have a good weekend. Arfa |

(Unless you're having some kind of network problems at your end.) Yes indeed David. However, last year, I had a whole bunch of occasions where exactly this kept happening, and each time, the problem was 'fixed' by doing a full power-down restart of the computer (it's normally on and connected to the 'net 24/7). Then, all of a sudden, the problem stopped. No changes to the machine or the OS, except the usual MS updates, so I really don't know what caused it. I could still connect to the newsgroups ok, and could still read them. I just couldn't post. X-News worked ok, however, which led me to believe that it wasn't an ISP / news server problem (I use their own server which they provide as part of their internet access package). I suppose there could be some kind of network issue. This particular machine is hardwired through a (quite old) router, and then onto the cable modem, and occasionally, both of those need a 'restart' when 'net access disappears. Friend of mine who works for the cable company told me that the reason for this is when something - can't remember what he said now - happens on his side of things, and it screws up the IP addresses, and everything my side then needs to gain new ones from each other and the provider. It's all voodoo to me ... Still, 'problem' seems to have gone away again now, so that's OK. :-) Arfa |

Well, that part *is* odd, that you could access newsgroups through one application (Xnews) but not another (OE), which would tend to point the finger of blame at the Micro$oft software ... -- You were wrong, and I'm man enough to admit it. - a Usenet "apology" |
