O/T: Server Down??
Hi, Gang,
I feel like an exile! Yesterday when I went to log on to rgo I got a dialogue box asking for a password (never happened before). To make a long story endless, I have tried just about everything, including two calls to Earthlink and lots of reconfiguration and new news accounts. No dice; keep getting the same infernal password request. I can't even download the news group list. The same is true for abpo. Email is fine, no probs. Earthlink says (although they tried hard to help, I must say) that they do not support news groups. Is there a server down somewhere that anyone knows of? I'm writing via Google Groups. Any ideas? And if Earthlink doesn't support the news groups, maybe it's time for a new service. Which ones "support" news groups? Help if y'all can...... Diana (On a happier note, C. amethystoglossa has ten buds, more than ever before!) |

Is there a server down somewhere that anyone knows of? I'm writing via Google Groups. Any ideas? And if Earthlink doesn't support the news groups, maybe it's time for a new service. Which ones "support" news groups? The lag on Google sux. Just subscribe to Individual Net http://news.individual.net/ It takes a couple of days to go thru but it's free and very reliable. Ruth CM |

I believe Atlantic.net is a major ISP in your area supporting newsgroups.
It's based in FL and serves a lot of the SE US. "Diana Kulaga" wrote in message om... Hi, Gang, I feel like an exile!

ISPs will change server addresses without any notice. (at least I have never been notified before a change) The address for earthlink last time I checked was: news-east.earthlink.net OR news-west.earthlink.net One other thing they will do is all of a sudden you will need to put in your password. I don't know what news reader you are using. This info applies to Agent: Goto: Options / User and System profile. Click on User tab. Click the radial button that has "log in with user name and password" In user name box put in whole Email address ) Put checkmark in box "Remember password between sesions" (if you are the only one using it or leave unchecked, but you will have to put in password each time you go online) Then put in password on the next line (this is your email password) Evan if you are not using Agent your news reader should have a place with these setting for you to fill out. I pay for news group acess from five different companies (newscene,usenet,newsservice,forteagent,newsfeeds) as well as the free ones with dsl lines (bellsouth, and mindspring/earthlink) All of them have at one time or another changed the operation in some way that has caught me unaware. Don't give in just yet, keep tinkerin, you will find the problem. Hope that helps If not..... crayons are cheap and easy to use!!

Thanks, everyone. I'm back in the group. Yesterday, E/L rep told me not to
switch to news.west. Well, a few minutes ago, my husband did it anyway, and voila! No password request, no problem anymore. Diana |

There is a thread there about the east server having problems all week long. It's basically down and some were getting the same password request you were getting. Guess they forgot to tell their support folks. :-( deg |
