Eternal-September Connection
Hi again.
Once again I cannot connect to the Eternal-September newsgroups. The earlier problem I had was due to my not having the word news. in front of eternal-september.org as the Server. That hint worked just great, but now I cannot connect again. I am using the latest ver of FireFox. Thanks, Buffalo

That hint worked just great, but now I cannot connect again. So why is this a Windows XP problem? Seems more likely either PEBCAK or yet another outage at ES (aka Motzarella). Go bother the folks in the alt.free.newsservers group (lurk first to go read the other posts since your question may already be answered). I am using the latest ver of FireFox. And what does HTTP have to do with NNTP?

And what does HTTP have to do with NNTP? It's not an XP problem. Jeez. I just figured that someone in this NG uses Eternal-September and could tell me if they were having connection problems or not. Sorry I frick'in bothered you Vanguard. Go pick on others to make your day more pleasant. Buffalo PS: Your response helped a lot.

Eternal-September Connection
There have been a few problems with the Eternal September server
names / DNS lookups. I thought the DNS issue had been resolved. However, you could try changing the server name to '62.141.42.50' (without the quotation marks). That should overcome any DNS lookup problems. "Buffalo" wrote in message ... Hi again. Once again I cannot connect to the Eternal-September newsgroups.

No question. The arrogance and pomp is quite overwhelming. Live long and prosper! Buffalo Peter is still an a-hole in most of the ng's that I look at.
