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? Steve |

I cant get on from hme. 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 "Steve" wrote in message ...

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!

Quite a few ISP's today (as I understand it) do not use password access,
rather they will only serve content to their own personal IP Range. I would say that this is the issue. -- Yours Sincerely Kye Tanson --- BIO-Dex Consulting www.biodex.com.au "Steve" wrote in message ...

OK, I went to the web site. I find that every city has its own news server name. Just to be complete, I tried every single one. They all do the same thing: fails to connect. I'm thinking that even though there are no passwords, you have to live in one of the covered cities. I'm not even in the same country, let alone close to any of the choices. Let me know when/if your server starts working from home. I'll try again. Steve Duncan wrote: I cant get on from hme. i can only log on at work.

That's about what I figured. They know I'm not one of "them".
