Default cannot connect to Cox news server

Suddenly, since 2 days, I am unable to send or receive to Cox's news
servers.

I am a Cox hi speed Internet subscriber and have several subscribed
newsgroups on news.east.cox.net. Without my having changed anything on my
side I am suddenly unable to contact any of them. Cox "support" insists
there are no reported problems on their news servers.

- Internet access works fine.
- Email to and back from my cox mailbox works fine.
- Other newsgroups (like this one) work fine.

The error message is
"Outlook Express could not post your message.
Account: 'news.east.cox.net'. Server: 'news.east.cox.net'. Protocol: NNTP,
server
Response:
'502 Maximum number of connections reached. (newsfe 12.iad) (Tomado
v1.2.6.556-2). Port: 119, Secure(SSL): No. Server error: 502, Error Number
0x800CCCAO"

1) Any suggestions?
2) Any free news servers I can use in the meanwhile?

Thanks.

Jeff

Try setting up a new Identity and then add the cox server and see if that
works in the different identity.

Does the behavior persist at all hours (e.g., 4:00 AM; 10:00 AM; 1:00 PM)?

Yes, it is always present. Searching on Google groups, it seems this is a
problem that has afflicted Cox in the past too and took forever to fix.

Now that I found a free news server that gives me my newsgroups I gave up on
Cox's news servers and am just using the free one.
