Apparently Cox has done something weird with the news servers. I haven't been able to get posts in a normal manner for several days. I changed some things and wanted to see if I could post alright to ASA. I knew if I just typed in "test" you would all let me know about it so I have typed all this meaningless prose to confuse all of you.

I changed > some things and wanted to see if I could post alright to ASA. Someone posted around noon "If your ISP is Cox, the outsourced their newsgroup hosting this week. All groups need to be unsubscribed and resubscribed." That is also what my secondary newsgroup source told me after I advised him I had not received any groups in 3 days (Mon-Wed). Thursday he had them back up and everything's been fine since. ... COLD BOOT: What you get when kicked by an Eskimo. >> Apparently Cox has done something weird with the news servers.

Here's what I received from Cox yesterday after three days email and phone. Phone support knew nothing about it as usual. Thank you for your recent e-mail. I understand you are having difficulties to access the Cox Newsgroups service. I apologize for any inconvenience this issue may be causing. At the moment I would like to inform you our newsgroups service has experienced various changes since the last maintenance. Currently our newsgroup servers do not require authentication to access them. For this reason, please remove any settings (username/password) you have in your newsgroups reader that could cause an authentication error. Please click on the link below to access information on how to properly configure your newsgroups without authenticating your connection: "http://support.cox.com/sdccommon/asp/contentredirect.asp?sprt_cid=4531f9ea-a8b1- 4811-b98d-079427d18558 Please note that Cox does not provide support for e-mail clients other than Outlook Express. If you encounter difficulties following the steps in the above link, please contact the official support for the software you are using. Thanks for the info Terry. I didn't call because the phone people very seldom have the info you need. I changed the server from "central" to "east" and had the same problems so I assumed it was on their end.

When I was researching their site...it said I should be using "west"...instead of central..so I changed it...nada...but then I unchecked the box that said I needed password to log in... it worked... So didn't we always need that password before...now when they decide that we need to log in again..we will have to recheck the box...I had always used "central" before.... Too many questions...I finally got it to work...I am just gong to go with it for now...LOL > Thanks for the info Terry. I didn't call because the phone people very > seldom have the info you need.
