Comcast Newsgroups and Posting through a Socks Proxy?

[James]

Generally speaking I don't like to post directly to Usenet and scatter
my personal information all out there. I post through comcast
newsgroups. But when trying to post to comcast newsgroups through a
Socks proxy, the comcast NNTP server won't allow it to connet because
the proxy is out of the acceptable IP range. So you get a connection
error. Has anyone ever figured a way around this? Thanks.

I know what you mean about that Commycrap. You just have to keep trying to
find a proxy server that works.

Find a socks proxy in Comcast IP space, or post through a newsserver
that doesn't report your IP address. Not free, but a $2 one-time fee
for a 2GB download block from usenet-news.net, for example, will give
you unlimited posting.

I second that, you can buy a $5 block account somewhere that will last you
for years. (text only)

Oooh, someone knows the *dynamic* IP address that *Comcast* assigned to
you. Yeah, like that identifies you. If dial-up, your IP address
changes on every net session. If broadband, your dynamic IP address
will still expire at the term of its lease (like 3 days) but you get to
continue using it as long as the host to which it is assigned keeps its
network interface active. You could try doing "ipconfig /release *",
"ipconfig /flushdns", and "ipconfig /renew" to see if you get a new IP
address (if you're using a router, it probably has a release/renew
page). You might get back the same IP address from their pool, you
might not. But then 69.254.47.24 hardly gives out your name, address,
phone number, social security number, credit card numbers, age, sex, sex
preference, height, weight, eye color, bank accounts and balances, your
schooling, etc.

Since you have to login to your Comcast's contracted Giganews account,
they already know who you are (or who is the responsible owner account
using Giganews). Obviously if you have to login then they really don't
need your IP address. You LOGGED in! You overtly identified yourself
(to Comcast and Giganews). An anonymizing proxy won't help because you
LOGGED in.

comcast leases newsgroup hosting through www.giganews.com under their
isp hosting.
they only allow you to connect to it through a *.comcast.net ip #...
Exactly what Im trying to do, the other way around, the only thing I
can suggest is using a proxy server on a comcast line.
Thats gonna be hard to find, but your going to need a username /
password anyway, which will give your information away regardless.
Unless you have someone elses.
