Cannot connect to newsgroup server
Up until 2 nights ago, OE worked fine when connecting to
my newsgroup server. Then it failed. The error message said it couldn't connect to the server. I tried deleting the newsgroup server and reinstalling. When trying to download the newsgroup list, these are the details of the error message: 480 Authentication required for command Configuration: Account: news.frii.com Server: news.frii.com Protocol: NNTP Port: 119 Secure(SSL): 0 Error Number: 480 Code: 800ccca2 You used to be able to delete and then reinstall OE, but that doesn't seem to be the case these days. :-( Anyone have an idea as to where to look for the problem? Thanks. |

Cannot connect to newsgroup server
This happens to me a couple of times a month. I don't fool with any of the
settings because it doesn't make any difference. The problem is with the servers, not your machine. Don't change anything, be patient and wait for the engineers at your newsgroup's tech department to fix things on their end. Don't forget to include your password if that is required by your server for access to the newsgroups. "Ken Springer" wrote in message ...

Cannot connect to newsgroup server
I thought this might be the problem, but changed my mind
when I tried another computer and it worked fine. However, the one that doesn't work is XP, the one that does is Windows 98. Could it be OS related?
