Can only get a few groups. Tried individual .net eternal september
and same problem on my phone.

Something strange is going on. Anyone got any ideas?

You did not authenticate with your E-S user name and password, that why
you can only see etrnal-september.* groups.

I don't quite understand your reference to individual.net or your

phone.

> Something strange is going on. Anyone got any ideas?

Try a more concise problem description.

I had the same problem yesterday and the authentication did *seem* to
work. I guess there was an issue with authentication failing silently or
something. However, things seem to have been fixed as of today.

No problem here using Agent with news.btinternet.com and six other
news servers.

Msgs sent by ES users were not propagating, and ES was not picking up other
newsfeeds yesterday. Also, their website was down.

outlook express to be able to post to something other than eternal-september
groups?

In article <ksd6r7$4b5$1...@anonymous.dont-email.me>,

In the newsgroup account settings, check the box "My newsserver requires
me to log on" and fill in the username and password for your E-S account.

Try closing your reader then reopening it. You still have to 'manage
groups' to list and/or subscribe to groups.

need to get your email from them, take the user name and password,
that they gave you, and put it into your newsgroup client, Then restart
it/// Then you can do your subscribe to the other newsgroups
and there certainly is to many of them....
