RE: Trouble connecting to the newsgroups

hi
i'm not having trouble now..but i have had problems in the past. my IPS is
windstream.
i don't know if my IPS or microsoft, but at times (sparatic), i just can't
seem to get into groups. sometimes i am in a group ( excel gen questions) and
try to switch to another (excel -programming) and i get the ol time out
error:"Unable to connect to server". clicking the "back" arrow takes me back
to the page i was on.
time of problem varies also from several minutes to several hours. most of
the time it's ok. but still ...... there are times.
wish i could give a concrete answer but sorry.....
been there, experienced that. really sucks.

maybe obama can fix all of our internet problems.......

yeah....right!

Regards
