Charlie Self In fact looks like peoplePC just uses the earthlink servers (earthlink owns peoplepc) so you can use news.west.earthlink.net or news.east.earthlink.net depending on if you are on the west or east coast Damian |

@b28g2000cwb.googlegroups.com: Set up with both Firefox and OE for NG use, but...WTF is the NNTP for PeoplePC use? Any help there? They're looking for the name or address of the news server PeoplePC provides. You may need to call/email their tech support guys to find out what it is, but you could also try news.peoplepc.com or nntp.peoplepc.com since both are popular choices for names for news servers.

My grandson finally got the blinking machine straightened out, but the problems I have with AOL are apparently some kind of screwed up code that AOL uses, and there are a host of problems. I'm slowly moving out of it. I hope. I really don't want to stay with the Google Groups bit, because it lacks any chance at filters, and it's clumsy to use. |

if your going to uses an ISP's news server, you have to have an account
with them or be on there network, there are pay for news servers out there and there are really bad free ones if you have AOL this looks like a great time to switch ISPs people PC or earth link are about 1/2 the price of AOL there still crappy but not nearly bad as AOL, also look into some local ISP, they might have what your looking for at a good price Swingman wrote: "damian penney" wrote in message Swingman wrote: It's a good bet that the only way it will work is if you are a member of the EarthLink network.

They get their news via Supernews. So far (2-3 years) my only complaint is the support staff, but that's common to all ISPs that I've tried. They all refuse to believe that a customer knows what he's doing :-). -- It's turtles, all the way down |

Now, Charlie never really answered my point blank question about what ISP he was using, but you assumed that he did, that he was using peoplePC, and you jumped in based on your assumption. You may well have just gotten lucky this time, but pay attention to the voice of experience when I tell you it is prudent to not ever assume _anything_ when trouble shooting network problems. That said, and since Charlie has been bitching about, and has had trouble with, AOL for a long time, I hope you're right ... here's hoping he finally did get off that sour tit and onto to something like EarthLink/et al. -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 6/21/06 |

I am using PeoplePC with OE when I go in. I have paid for PeoplePC as an ISP, but until it can put me in all the places AOL puts me in, I am keeping the AOL, too. In fact, my wife tells me I am keeping the AOL, which I regret a bti. Local servers are not worth **** IMO. I've tried them. They offer zilch, except connection, for about the same price as Earthlink, PeoplePC and others (except AOL, which, AFAIK, is the highest priced ISP going). By the time you add on the stuff that's standard on other ISPs, the local guys are no longer cheap and you get bumped almost as often as you get bumped on AOL. |

I tend to hope that Charter's cable beats them here. Maybe you have to organize the neighbors into requesting it. I have no experience with any ccable system. Started with Compuserve in my Apple //e days, then went verizon dial-up, then DSL. Now at nominal 3 MB down. Waiting for fios ... What neighbors? Actually, we now have the population density, and DSL will eventually get here, but my neighbors generally do not give a rat's tuchus about computers. Most have satellite TV, and that's as much as they want. Lessee. I could get the guy who raises rodeo bulls to...nah. He's about a half mile down the road. Across the road, we've got a schoolteacher, but she never uses a computer outside the classroom, except to mark report cards. Down the road is a guy who does I don't know what, but also plays in a rock band...he'd never hear anything. As I said, eventually, but one of the lacks in the country is neighbors who share your interests. |

You wrote 'I don't have a google set up on PipplePC to get to this NG' which sure sounded like you were trying to access Google Groups via peoplePC to me. I'm well aware that you were trying to use OE/peoplePC seeing as I was the person who told you the correct value to use for the news server. |

If you'd read a bit earlier, you would understand that I moved into PPC to allow me to eventually get rid of AOL, and that I dislike using google groups intensely. Whatever Mr Snippy. You wrote 'I don't have a google set up on PipplePC to get to this NG' which sure sounded like you were trying to access Google Groups via peoplePC to me. Like I said, that's what you get for assuming. -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 6/21/06 Answer me honestly Swingman, what would you think Charlie meant by 'I don't have a google set up on PipplePC to get to this NG'. |

As you've found out, you "think" to ask the basic questions before assuming what is "meant". But hell, you're the one who's "right", so just let go of it. -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 6/21/06 |

I don't know about y'all but I don't come here for the wooddorking. I come here for lessons in epistemology. This was a pretty good one.

"you're the one who's "right", so just let go of it." and that's the bit the really sticks in your craw isn't it. I was right. Charlie asked a simple question and I answered it correctly whereas you added nothing and took the whole thread on this bizarre tangent. You didn't answer Charlies question nor did you answer mine, seems to be a pattern. |
