Well, I don't use Norton and I still have Windows XP, so something else
is going on. Are you using the same server, mentioned originally, from work?
I'll check the web site and see if anything good happens from there.
Thanks!

Steve

I cant get on from home. i can only log on at work. Shaw says norton is the
problem but i think vista is the problem. They say to turn norton off but
that seems like bad advice to me. If you go to shaws web page they have
some alternate server address. Those might work for you

You didnt hear this from me but....

shaws news server(shawnews.cg.shawcable.net) isnt password protected or
anythng like that so anyone from anywere could access it.
I thought I would try it. I set up the account, but when I go to get the
list of groups, I get no connection. I have tried 3 or 4 times over the
last 2 days.
Has the status of the news server changed or am I doing something wrong?
