Hi again.
Once again I cannot connect to the Eternal-September newsgroups.
The earlier problem I had was due to my not having the word news. in
front of eternal-september.org as the Server.
That hint worked just great, but now I cannot connect again.
I am using the latest ver of FireFox.
Thanks,
Buffalo

So why is this a Windows XP problem? Seems more likely either PEBCAK or
yet another outage at ES (aka Motzarella). Go bother the folks in the
alt.free.newsservers group (lurk first to go read the other posts since
your question may already be answered).

And what does HTTP have to do with NNTP?

It's not an XP problem. Jeez.
I just figured that someone in this NG uses Eternal-September and could tell
me if they were having connection problems or not.
Sorry I frick'in bothered you Vanguard.
Go pick on others to make your day more pleasant.
