Mac Forum / Applications / Outlook Express / November 2007Unable to post to newsgroups with Outlook Express
Using OE version 6.0 and Windows XP Until the 8th of this month, everything was working perfectly. I changed nothing. Another computer on my network, using the same account and modem is able to post. I am accessing newsgroups through my ISP. I am able to download both plain text and binary messages but unable to post anything at all. I have tried multiple times to three different groups. I have deleted the newsgroup account in OE twice and recreated it as instructed by my ISP, it did not help. They suggested I contact Microsoft. Any suggestions? > Using OE version 6.0 and Windows XP Then you've posted to the wrong newsgroup.

Please be specific. How are you connected to the Internet and whose news server are you using?

However on my laptop, it will post. It uses the same server,dsl modem/router, logon... same everything. The only exception is a different nickname being used to post. > How are you connected to the Internet and whose news server are you using? I am connected through my LAN, DSL router, bellsouth.net news server. My network is not wireless. I am not having any trouble with email or any other service, just usenet. Yesterday I ran a system restore to the 7th, the day before it stopped posting.. It did not help. I also booted to a different hard drive running a seperate installation of XP. I created a newsgroup account in Outlook Express and tried to post to alt.test. Again, it did not appear. Thank you Adam. I can usually figure these things out but am stumped this time.

Thank you Frank, I tried it, it did not work. Since my post yesterday I have tried the following: Complete virus scan using Avast. No virii found. Disabled McAfee virus scan for mail and news. I installed Foret Agent, a news and mail program, it too did not post but was able to receive both mail and news. So at this point I believe that it is definitely not OE and I doubt that it is my server as it continues to post from my laptop. Could it be a hitch in my registry or firewall? Again, many thanks for those of you in the know who are willing to help. When I DO find the solution I will be sure to post it :) Kate >>> Using OE version 6.0 and Windows XP >> Then you've posted to the wrong newsgroup.

The group for MS Outlook Express on the MS Windows platform (as opposed to the group for MS Outlook Express on the Apple Mac platform, where your post first appeared; and Windows users, such as I, would have missed it). >>> Until the 8th of this month, everything was working perfectly. >>> I changed nothing.

Could it be something to do with your "Views" settings? I'd look for your posts in the 'alt.test' group, but I don't know the nickname to look for.
