Suddenly can't logon to news server
The 480 typically indicates a logon problem. Since you say that the
news server does not require a logon, in OE at Tools, Accounts, News, Properties, Servers, be sure to UNCHECK the This server Requires Me to logon. Also, if the ISP does not require a logon, then they generally require that you connect via them, not via another ISP, corporate LAN, WiFi hotspot, etc. If you are connecting to the Internet differently, than in the past, that could be the issue. If you still have problems, 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). The file will have the name of the news server with a .LOG file extension. 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 "T-Ray" wrote in message ...
