You post using an earthlink.net address. Is Earthlink your ISP or is
Verizon?

Doublecheck your configuration and settings with:

Setting up your Verizon Online news account with Outlook Express 5 - 6 in
Windows®

Start Outlook Express.
>From the Tools menu, select Accounts.
Click Add, then select News. The Internet Connection Wizard appears. Follow
the prompts.
In the Display Name field, type your name, then select Next.
In the E-mail Address field, type your e-mail address, then select Next.
In the News (NNTP) Server field, type news.verizon.net.
Select the My News Server Requires Me to Log On check box, then select Next.
In the Account Name field, type your user name.
In the Password field, type your password, then select Next.
Select Finish to save new newsgroup settings.
Select Close to save the newsgroup settings.
A message appears, asking if you want to download newsgroups for the news
account you just added. Select Yes.
