That's not the NNTP log. No wonder it didn't make any sense.

Lost All Newsgroups/Error Message
The first error is from Dec. 18th were it said that you had too many
connections to the news server. We won't worry about that since it was a while ago. In the other log entries of the past few days, OE is making a connection to the 'news-server.nc.rr.com' and sending the "MODE READER" command. At this point, OE is expecting some response from the news server and not getting it. So the problem doesn't seem to be a firewall. You are making a connection. It's as if the MODE command is getting lost or ignored by the news server or the response is getting lost. Even if the news server doesn't support the MODE command, it should give an error response. A while back I asked you to try setting up a news account for Microsoft news server. You said that you tried, but that it didn't work. But you didn't say what the problem was. Try that again, and run the NNTP log for that.

Lost All Newsgroups/Error Message
I'm running out of ideas. You are getting the same problem with the
Microsoft news server. So it's not a issue with your ISP news servers. And the type of error doesn't look like a firewall issue You are connecting successfully and getting some communications before things hang. You said that you tried creating a new identity and that didn't work. Did you try setting up and using the news account before (or without) importing the data from the old identity. As long as you didn't do the import, if the problem were any data corruption in the old identity, that wouldn't occur in the new identity. If you did import from the old identity before trying the news account, that could have transferred corrupted data. In that case, create another new identity, then try the news server before doing any import. Beyond that, there is the possibility of some corruption in the OE program files. But that's rare. To eliminate that as a possibility, see: How to Reinstall or Repair Internet Explorer and Outlook Express in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=318378 The only other thing I can think of is that some other program is messing with the communications between OE and the news servers. Are you running any Internet privacy software? Norton has a product, and there are others on the market that scan the communication and mask selective data. Or if you have an anti-virus program set to scan newsgroups, that could potentially cause a problem. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "AHAllen" wrote in message ...

it will be Monday or Tuesday before I can do so. I'll let you know what happens. I do not have Norton, but do have McAfee anti-virus, I do not use their firewall.

You may want to create an NNTP log with will show more details about the communications between Outlook Express and your news server. Select Tools, Options, Maintenance, Troubleshooting, News. Then access the news server. The log will be created in the same folder with your DBX files (see Tools, Options, Maintenance, Store Folder). You may need to close OE after accessing the news server for the log to get written to disk. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "AHAllen" wrote in message ... Thanks for getting back, Mike. I tried your suggestion with the command and it responded correctly. I am not using a router & use 2003 Office Pro if that helps.... AH Allen "Michael Santovec" wrote: Try a Start, Run and enter the following command telnet xxxx 119 where xxxx is the news server name. You can try your ISP's news server and Microsoft's. If you can connect, it should respond with a command window and an identifying message from the news server starting with "200". If it does, type QUIT then press Enter to exit. If you cannot connect, then you know that the problem is outside of OE. Are you going though any sort of Router? -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "AHAllen" wrote in message ... Ooops! I have been unable to set up MS news successfully. I also created a new identity and tried that with no success. I made sure all firewalls were off before I did this. If it is a firewall issue, are there any "simple" remedies. Thanks again for your input! "Michael Santovec" wrote: Installing or uninstalling IE7 should not have affected your newsgroups. IE has nothing to do with newsgroups. Try setting up the Microsoft news server and see if that works OK. To set up an account for MSnews in OE http://www.insideoe.com/resources/co...tm#setupmsnews If that works, then it points to a problem with your ISP's news server or settings for it. In that case, try removing the news account, restart OE and set it up again. If you still have problems, try setting it up in a new identity.

Lost All Newsgroups/Error Message

... Mike: I let it time out twice: Below is the log..... Microsoft Internet Messaging API 6.00.2900.3028 (xpsp_sp2_gdr.061107-0012) NNTP Log started at 01/13/2007 17:42:35 NNTP: 17:42:35 [db] Connecting to 'msnews.microsoft.com' on port 119. NNTP: 17:42:35 [db] srv_name = "msnews.microsoft.com" srv_addr = 207.46.248.16 NNTP: 17:42:35 [rx] 200 NNTP Service 6.0.3790.1830 Version: 6.0.3790.1830 Posting Allowed NNTP: 17:42:35 [tx] MODE READER You should try simulating this command through telnet too. Then WAIT. It's possible that the 1 minute timeout you have is not enough for some reason. Is there a proxy server involved? Even though you are going to msnews if a proxy server was involved it would be doing the same thing in each case regardless of the final destination server. Pass these additional symptoms on to your ISP. Escalate if necessary. I think you have proven that OE is not a factor in your primary symptom, which you have now refined to be: "no response (or perhaps extremely delayed response) to NNTP MODE command". Good luck Robert Aldwinckle ---
