Count me, I prithee, amongst the good guys.

Done.


I haven't been called anything worse than 'pedantic ass',
so you know I'm nearly virtuous!

Hi Jim,
Don't forget to add me! Hopefully this will now go through. I have
gone to Agent, too, and hopefully have finally cleared up my access to
the Verizon news server as well. Haven't been able to reply to a post
for months now because of problems convincing Verizon I had permission
to post... :-(

Charlie,

You may have the same problem I had when I went to
Verizon FIOS. There is a problem with a DNS somwhere.
It intermittently (most of the time) returns a TCPIP
address for news.verizon.net that does not work.
My workaround was to update my HOSTS file with a
good TCPIP address:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\HOSTS

One line had to be added as the last line in the file:

199.45.49.11 news.verizon.net

Don't know if that will help you, but it's worth a look.
