Maybe, but I see only replies to
yourself. Now try replying to mine...
Let's have a party!
Neil Maxwell - I don't speak for my employer
Neil - do I remember correctly - you pretty well know computers and/or
networking?
I'm pretty good on computers, and so-so on networking. It's
surprising how many programmer we have here, though.
You can drop me a line off-list, if you'd like, by dropping the nospam
from my address, or open it up to the real nerds here.
Hey - I 'resemble' that remark.
Never-the-less, I want to know for what reason under the sun, would my
computer be able to post to any newsgroup in usenet - except one. Once I
post to that "one," I can't post to *any* and have to restart the pc to
begin posting again (except to that, 'one').
I don't mean restart - I mean restart as in turn the damn thing off and then
on!
Thanks for any light you can shed.

I'm not real familiar with Outlook Express. A few clarifications:
I assume if you shut OE down and restart it, you still have the same
problem, which then requires a power-down to clear up?
You can post to that NG, but once you do, you can only post to it, and
not to any others, or does it fail to post to that one?
What OS are you running? I don't know if OE leaves processes running
in the background, but it could be that something about that one NG
has constipated it. You could bring up the task manager and look for
background OE processes, terminate them, and try again.
More data! Can you read from that NG ok? Does OE give an error
message when the posts fail? It it a moderated NG you're posting to?
You could also try running Free Agent, the very good no-cost
newsreader from www.forteinc.com, and see if it has the same problems.
If this shows it's an OE problem, I'd check the knowledge bases at
Microsoft, and maybe put a detailed problem statement up on one of the
microsoft.public.* groups. Actually, I'd just run full Agent, but
that's me.
At least you've got threading!
>I still can't get this damn thing to work right!
Well, FWIW, it looks fine on my newsreader.
If you want to use what I use, here's where
to find out about it:

Yeah - sorta.

Posting to that 1 ng ruins the opportunity to post to any others. I think
I've been blocked from that ng and I'm trying to figure out a way around it.
I figured that once I start the pc, I get some new number or something, but
for the life of me, I can't figure out what number that could be. Redialing
will give me a new IP number but that doesn't help. What other number could
my computer be generating??

I'm still using win98.

Yeah - I can read in the ng and OE lies to me - telling me I post when my
posts don't show up. There's no moderator.

It doesn't matter what ng proggie I use. Same shit.
>At least you've got threading!
Yeah. Screw it. Thanks.
